HARTFORD, Conn. – Both Democratic Gov. Dannel P. Malloy and his Republican challenger Tom Foley said they will not increase taxes next year and they had both smoked marijuana, but that’s about where the similarities ended.
In a lightning round at the end of Tuesday’s debate, WFSB host Dennis House asked the candidates if they’ve ever smoked marijuana.
“Whoa,” Foley replied surprised by the question. “Yes.”
“Once,” Malloy replied.
As far as the budget is concerned, whoever is elected governor will inherit a projected $2.8 billion budget deficit, according to the legislature’s nonpartisan Office of Fiscal Analysis. Malloy explained that those projections assume a 7.8 percent increase in spending.
