Connecticut lawmakers return May 12 for vote

HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) - Connecticut lawmakers have officially adjourned their regular legislative session, knowing they'll be back next week at the state Capitol to vote on a revised budget for the new fiscal year.

The House of Representatives and Senate both wrapped up the session at midnight on Wednesday in the traditional flurry of activity.

Minutes later, lawmakers in both chambers passed resolutions spelling out rules for a special legislative session that Senate Majority Leader Bob Duff says will be held on May 12.

Democratic legislative leaders hoped to vote Wednesday, the final day of the legislative session, on an 11th-hour budget deal they reached Tuesday night with Democratic Gov. Dannel P. Malloy. However, they scrapped those plans after it become clear they wouldn't have enough time to pass that bill and related legislation.
