HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) - Records show Connecticut Gov. Dannel P. Malloy doesn't spend a lot of time chit-chatting with state legislators.

A review of the Democrat's public schedule was obtained by The Associated Press through open records requests. It shows Malloy had 14 scheduled meetings with lawmakers in 2015. Five of those were held late last year, when the governor and legislative leaders were trying to reach an agreement on a mid-year deficit-cutting plan.

Democratic House Speaker Brendan Sharkey says Malloy is "a very businesslike person" and generally doesn't want to meet unless there's a reason.

That's in contrast to Malloy's two Republican predecessors, who often held regular weekly meetings with lawmakers to help build relationships.

Recent skirmishes over the state budget have shown Malloy's relationship with his fellow Democrats isn't particularly close.
