Sen. Harding Statement on Gov. Lamont’s “Mistake” Comment

For Immediate Release

Sen. Stephen Harding issued the following statement regarding Gov. Ned Lamont today saying that Democrat lawmakers’ push to pass a 1-year budget instead of a 2-year budget is “a mistake“. (https://x.com/johncraven1/status/1927755302625005586)

“It’s more than a ‘mistake’, governor. It’s a dereliction of duty.

Unfortunately, Gov. Lamont has already folded like a lawn chair to his fellow Democrats after agreeing to blow by the once-‘sacrosanct’ state spending cap last week.

Why wouldn’t Democrats assume you will again fold like a lawn chair on this issue as well?

Gov. Lamont: There is less than a week left in the legislative session. We have no budget. No tax cuts.  No spending cap. Democrats have passed nothing to lower energy costs for working families and job creators.

Get your mojo back, Gov. Lamont. You are being pushed around by majority Democrats. Threaten some vetoes. Stop showing weakness and do something.”
