Senate President Offers Statement on “Framework of an Agreement” Between Governor Rell & SEBAC
Senate President Donald E. Williams, Jr. (D-Brooklyn):
“I am pleased that Gov. Rell and State Employees Union Leaders have a ‘framework of an agreement’ in place. The savings are critical and a clear sign that state employees are willing to be part of the solution.
While labor negotiations have progressed, the same cannot be said for broader budget talks. Gov. Rell must still explain how she will balance her proposed budget — which is more than $3 billion in the red. Last week Democratic leaders sent the governor a letter requesting that budget negotiations begin immediately — unfortunately she never responded. The people of Connecticut expect us to put aside our differences and work together to solve this fiscal crisis. We stand ready to do that.”
