Show Notes
Connecticut Governor Ned Lamont plans to veto an emergency bill, aiming to cut out earmarks and specific spending items. The bill, Senate Bill two ninety-eight, included funding shifts and grants, but was passed without public hearings due to emergency certification. The governors move, supported by some Democratic leaders, is seen as a way to build public trust, but criticized by others as an abrupt and trust-eroding action. Senate Democrats plan to restore the funds through budget adjustments, but the short session may pose challenges.
