http://rjpoliticalpotpourri.blogspot.com/2009/06/special-session-scheduled.html
A look at Connecticut politics. Monday, June 1, 2009. There are three days left until the legislative session adjourns, and state lawmakers still do not have a budget agreement. They don't expect to have one before 11:59 pm Wednesday either. Gov Rell hopes so too, but says she has contingency plans ready if necessary. Some things to keep in mind:. 1 Special sessions cost money. Is this wise when the state is already facing a deficit this year? Was it a wise move to call a special session already? The Sen...

Political Potpourri: Open container bill passed for now
http://rjpoliticalpotpourri.blogspot.com/2009/06/open-container-bill-passed-for-now.html
A look at Connecticut politics. Tuesday, June 2, 2009. Open container bill passed for now. So, House Democratic leaders just did an interesting thing. The House was debating a bill that would prohibit open alcoholic beverage containers in vehicles and then Democratic leaders chose to pass the bill temporarily. That's never good news for any bill and could mean that the bill is dead, especially since the General Assembly will adjourn at 11:59 pm tomorrow. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

A look at Connecticut politics. Friday, January 30, 2009. Obama set to entertain. Looks like Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro could be partying Sunday at the White House. The AP is reporting that DeLauro is one of 15 lawmakers invited to Obama's home for the Super Bowl. She is the only one from Connecticut on the list. Do you think his efforts are working? Last I heard, Republicans were pretty set against his economic stimulus plan. Think inviting them over for some pizza and beer will help? State documents an...
