The state鈥檚 Finance and Appropriations committees are expected to be working behind closed doors for at least the rest of April to iron out the details of a $24.2 billion state budget proposed last week.
The 海角换妻 Mirror鈥檚 Keith Phaneuf, who has been covering the budget process, joined us on 鈥淎ll Things Considered鈥� to discuss his observations.
In order, the subjects we discussed include:
1. How election year politics are affecting the budget process.
2. Why Gov. Ned Lamont's 鈥淪EBAC鈥� agreement is unprecedented.
3. Whether Lamont's SEBAC agreement will actually keep workers from leaving.
4. Is child care/early child development the big winner in this budget?
5. What are the 鈥淐hildren's Trust Fund鈥� and the 鈥淩evenue Cap鈥�?
6. Is 海角换妻 heading for a 鈥渇iscal cliff鈥� as federal pandemic dollars dry up?
7. What will happen with the car tax?
