Local lawmaker laments revenue volatility

It's looking like state lawmakers will be called into special session after their mandated adjournment passes on Wednesday.  The General Assembly has yet to come up with a budget plan, negotiated with the Governor, to erase the nearly billion dollar deficit.  Deputy House Speaker Bob Godfrey of Danbury says they are tired of trying to wrestle with factors out of their control.

 

Godfrey says no one has been able to predict what revenues are going to be in a very long time.

 

Democrats balked at a revised budget offered by the governor, opposing his cuts to hospitals, social services, education funding and property tax relief efforts. Malloy's administration is also continuing to issue hundreds of state employee layoff notices.
