In all, out of Connecticut's 187 state politicians, 37 earned 'A's and 51 received 'F's. The annual report card considers whether legislators were supportive of education funding, unions, professional development, standards, and school safety. …

CT Senate OKs $43 Billion State Budget Lamont Hails As 'Fair, Balanced,' But GOP Senator Slams
As promised by Gov. Ned Lamont, Connecticut's $43 billion budget is on time and balanced. That wasn't enough good news for 14 Senate Republicans and two Democrats who voted against it on Tuesday night, June 4. By a 20-16 vote, the Senate passed a two-year budget that Republicans complained is full of new taxes and shifts billions of dollars in pension debt onto the next generation of taxpayers. The budget erases a $3 billion deficit that Lamont inherited when he became governor in January. Lamont got the support of legislators in making new investments in health care and boostin…

County Legislators Approve 'Ban The Box' Legislation Protecting Workers With Criminal Past
The Westchester County Board of Legislators passed a bill on Monday, Dec. 3 to make it illegal for employers to make job seekers disclose committing serious crimes on their application. The proposed legislation was approved by a vote of 11 to 5.
