Connecticut Senate Democrats hit the nuclear option in the
State Senate tonight when they stopped Republican debate on their train wreck
state budget. This is the worst of politics in Connecticut.
The State Senate did not begin debate on the budget document
until after 5:30 pm. The second largest tax increase in the history of
Connecticut and debate limited to less than six hours.
Why? The deadline for the Connecticut General Assembly to
complete business in the 2015 legislative session is Midnight. Imagine that?
Hold the budget to the last six hours of a legislative session that began on
January 7th. Five months to get the work done and Senate Republicans
were given six hours to debate spending $40 billion.
Vote Republican, Connecticut voters!
