Statement from Senate President Martin Looney & Senate Majority Leader Bob Duff on Funding for Special Education and Nonprofits

HARTFORD – Today, Senate President Pro Tempore Martin Looney and Senate Majority Leader Bob Duff released the following statement regarding recently passed funding for special education and nonprofits.

“After speaking with our caucus last night, tomorrow the Senate Democrats are prepared to override both line-item vetoes or pass legislation to once again appropriate this funding for nonprofits and special education. The funding exists to address these immediate needs, and we are prepared to protect organizations that are under attack by the Trump administration and support our students, teachers, and local education.”
