(HARTFORD, CT) – Governor Ned Lamont today released the following statement regarding an agreement with legislative leaders on funding for special education and nonprofits:
“I’m glad that we could reach an agreement between my office and legislative leaders on increasing funding for special education and nonprofits during this current fiscal year, provided we maintain our surplus. I am hopeful that the legislature will vote on this updated bill so that I can sign it into law. Ahead of budget negotiations, I look forward to maintaining the financial discipline, open dialogue, and shared values that have allowed us to turn our state around economically and even have a surplus to invest at all.”
