Opinion: ‘What in the world are the doing in Hartford?’

June 5, 2015

–

Jonathan Pelto has been actively involved in Connecticut public policy, advocacy and electoral politics for nearly 40 years, including five terms in the state House of Representatives. Most recently, he was a candidate for governor as the nominee of the newly created Education and Democracy Party.

Those were the simple, but rather profound, words of one Republican legislator as Connecticut’s House of Representatives and State Senate jammed through a new state budget as it careened toward its midnight deadline yesterday.

Now the General Assembly is headed for a special session to deal with some of the legislation that it failed to address.

Later this morning, Governor Dannel Malloy and Lt. Governor Nancy Wyman will hold a press conference to congratulate themselves and applaud the Democratic legislators who voted for the budget package that Malloy negotiated with the General Assembly’s Democratic Leaders this week.
