Statement of Senate President Donald E. Williams, Jr. Re: Governor M. Jodi Rell’s Forthcoming Deficit Mitigation Package
“I look forward to continuing to work with the governor in managing Connecticut’s finances in this time of national recession, and to hear the specifics of her latest plan.
“I am troubled by the fact that just three months into the new fiscal year, more than half of the projected state budget deficit — $212 million — is due to increased spending by the governor's departments and agencies (the governor refers to this spending as “additional expenditure requirements”). I will be interested to hear from the governor as to why her departments cannot function within the budgetary allotments that they’ve been given.”
