Face the State has a new man behind the scenes: producer Bill Hall. Bill, shown above flanked by director Jason Bowman and engineer Dario Muneton, replaces Chris Collibee, who went to work for Governor Malloy. Read about Chris here: https://dennishouse.tv/2015/11/25/face-the-state-producer-to-work-for-governor-malloy/
Bill is a native of Durham, graduated from Coginchaug High School, and is an alumnus of the University of Hartford. He loves politics and is a history nerd like me, and loves digging in the Channel 3 archives for Face the State flashbacks. His day job? Bill produces Channel 3 Eyewitness News at 5:30 and is nominated for a New England Emmy for his work.

My former husband Dominic Mazzoccoli was Mayor of Newington in the 90’s for 6 years and decided not to run for public office again. It was the income tax proposed by a fellow Republican Lowell Weiker that brought him back. Dominic was able to get so many signatures against the income tax that he was asked to speak against the income tax at the rally on the Capitol lawn. In 1993 the political fever struck again and he ran successfully for State Representative. He held office for 6 years for Newington. This year he died after struggling for 5 years with the horrible disease ALS. Dennis House mentioned today that future shows would have more stories about the income tax. Should you as the new producer decide to show the anti-income tax rally, is it possible you would have footage of Dominics speech? I know his family and friends would love to see Dominic doing what he loved- representing the citizens he served.
