Gov. Ned Lamont joined Mark Sudol on this week's edition of Power & Politics.

The governor told lawmakers during the State of the State address that "our north stars are affordability and opportunity." But Republicans said the governor was light on specifics, and said his proposals won't lower electric bills.

Lamont discussed a number of topics including the state's economy, high electric rates, health care costs and much more.
