Balloon Boy to Face the State

State Representative William Tong (D-Stamford) will Face the State with Dennis House Sunday morning at 11 on WFSB. Tong, a third term legislator, has been contemplating a bid for the 2012 Democratic nomination for the United States Senate.

The moderate Democrat, who was inspired in his youth by an early Lieberman U.S. Senate campaign, has been conducting a longer-than-expected assessment of his prospects for high office. This week, Tong voted in favor of the largest tax increase in Connecticut history.

Congressman Christopher Murphy and former Secretary of the State Susan Bysiewicz jumped into the Senate race early this year.
