I haven't heard this term in a long time nor have I ever known of anyone actually making a citizen's arrest. Although there are plenty of times I'd like to do so. Not so much for any serious crimes which I have no business even getting involved in. Those are times when you dial 9-1-1 and leave it up to the professionals.

Of the more than 10-thousand employees at Foxwoods... it is the most visible... the approximately 3-thousand dealers of table games that are attempting to organize with the United Auto Workers union.

The Mashantucket Pequot tribe has argued before the National Labor Relations Board at Hartford that federal labor law does not apply because the tribe is a sovereign nation. They have their own Labor board which should have jurisdiction over any labor disputes.

Today, a number of political leaders, from the U.S. Congress to the state legislature said they support the workers right to organize with the U-A-W. Attorney General Dick Blumenthal filed a brief in favor of the workers saying a federal decision in a case involving a California tribe's casino workers applies here.

Casino workers at today's event said they have been harrassed by casino management because of their organizational efforts. A spokesman from the tribe denies any harrassement and says they are just trying to make their point that a union is not necessary.

Do you think federal labor law should apply at the tribe owned casinos? Or do you agree with the tribe that their laws apply?

You might think that this record-warm October is about to melt away any prospects for a normal snow season. Is it time to trade in those tickets to Florida? But for snow lovers, even if it will be an uphill battle, all is not lost....yet. I looked back at some weather records, and the shoe, the snow shoe could eventually drop....but start dreaming of that White Christmas now.

After last night's big win by Boston to get into the World Series, I was curious to see what some of the web sites in the particular cities had to say. The headlines were not disappointing.

It's a wonderful time when you have a Game Seven in a Sports playoff series.

You intensity rises as both sides feel desperation and that fear of ending a season of hard work and success with a loss.

Too bad the Red Sox and Indians begin so late on a school-night that many of our children, including mine can't enjoy the full experience.

Tonight we aired a story about how volunteers are already setting up for the annual Fantasy of Lights display at Lighthouse Point Park in New Haven. It's a great holiday event for the whole family and if you have never been... you should definitely check it out. It's hard to believe the holidays are right around the corner... Have you already started thinking about gift giving?...or have you already started holiday shopping?
