Connecticuts Appropriations Committee approves a $29 billion state budget for the 2026-2027 fiscal year, increasing spending by 6.2% and focusing on Medicaid, magnet schools, and public transit. The Democratic-led group passed it, while Republicans criticize the use of a special fund and accounting gimmick. Key wins include increased Medicaid payments, blocked magnet school cuts, and additional funds for transit. The budget now heads to negotiations between Governor Ned Lamont and leaders, aiming for a compromise by May 6.
