Looney and Duff: Senate MAGA Caucus Abandons Governing, Offers Empty Promises

HARTFORD — Senate President Pro Tempore Martin M. Looney (D-New Haven) and Senate Majority Leader Bob Duff (D-Norwalk) today responded after Senate Republicans held a press conference touting false financial promises:

“The Senate MAGA caucus unveiled nothing but an empty political promise that has not been reviewed by nonpartisan fiscal staff, and it has not been subjected to a public hearing. The last time they proposed a real budget was 2018. Since then, they have abandoned responsible participation in governing and resorted to back-of-the-napkin promises. The people of Connecticut have noticed and stopped taking the MAGA Senate caucus seriously. The Democrats will continue the real work of building a vetted budget that delivers actual tax relief rather than political talking points.”
