A collection of briefs from the state Capitol - Boston.comHARTFORD, Conn. --Gov. M. Jodi Rell said Thursday she opposes the idea of making Connecticut's legislature full-time.
"Where on earth are the legislature's priorities," the Republican governor asked. "They have been in session for two and a half months -- 79 days now -- and they have produced exactly one bill for my signature."
Democrats currently control the legislature. The Government Administration and Elections Committee is planning an informational hearing on the issue of a full-time legislature. Proponents said the idea makes sense considering the conflicts of interest many lawmakers have with their private employment and legislation they handle."
