Susan Bysiewicz, proud mom of a daughter who fought for better pay

Jan. 1 marked the start of a Connecticut law banning employers in most cases from asking people how much they made in their last jobs.

Lt. Gov. Susan Bysiewicz sees it as a huge advance for women, in her new role as chair of the Council on Women and Girls, which will have its first meeting in February after all the members are named.  I talked with Bysiewicz about subtle ways salaries are set.
