Legislative Leaders Set January 14th for Vote on Second Mitigation Plan
Senate President Donald E. Williams, Jr. (D-Brooklyn), Senate Majority Leader Martin Looney (D-New Haven), incoming Speaker of the House Christopher Donovan (D-Meriden) and incoming House Majority Leader Denise Merrill (D-Mansfield) met Tuesday afternoon and agreed that the legislature will act on a second budget mitigation plan on January 14, 2009.
Statement from Senate President Williams and incoming Speaker of the House Donovan:
“The effects of the global economic crisis have landed on our doorstep and we must face the challenges head-on. In the next two weeks we expect to work closely with Gov. Rell to reach agreement on a budget mitigation plan that can be approved on January 14th. We must begin the 2009 legislative session the same way we will end it many months from now — working together to make tough, smart, and responsible decisions.”
