With one week left in the legislative session, the pressure's on for lawmakers to come up with a budget. This week, Governor Dannel Malloy teamed up with Republican leader Len Fasanoto come up with a plan. Malloy wrote a letter to lawmakers on Tuesday morning urging immediate action.
The governor got pushback from House Speaker Joe Aresimowicz, who said in a press briefing, "We can't afford the opportunity to just continue to send letters to each other."
This hour, we get the latest on the state budget, union concessions, and last-minute legislation. We also talk about thefuture of Aetna headquarters, and crumbling foundations in the quiet corner.
