Connecticut Democrats’ Failed Leadership Leaves Budget Crisis With No End In Sight

While Connecticut’s Democrat gubernatorial candidates Kevin Lembo, Nancy Wyman, and Dan Drew do their best to stay out of the limelight, their party’s leadership continues to cause crippling damage to the state’s fiscal situation. This week, Failed Democrat Governor Dan Malloy admitted that Connecticut’s ongoing budget crisis will likely extend into the Fall, leaving the state in fiscal crisis with no end in sight due to Democrats’ failed leadership.

The Hartford Courant reports:

“With no end to the legislature’s fiscal stalemate in sight, Gov. Dannel P. Malloy said Wednesday he would not be surprised if there is no state budget in place by this fall.

Malloy has been pushing hard for a vote for months, but the state House of Representatives and Senate have not reached a compromise as some Democrats are seeking tax increases and Republicans are pushing for more spending cuts to close a $5 billion deficit over two years.

“I do fear it could very easily go into the fall,’’ Malloy told The Courant on Wednesday…

Later Wednesday, Malloy told reporters: ‘This is more likely to be protracted than it is to be short term.’”
