“Arrogance.” CT Senate GOP Statement on Legislative Blizzard Business

On behalf of the Senate Republican Caucus, Sen. Stephen Harding today blasted legislative Democrats for pushing through Monday, Feb. 23 public hearings and committee business despite the blizzard, the closure of the State Capitol and the governor’s emergency declaration.

“Ridiculous. Disrespectful. Arrogance.

This shows what supermajority Democrats think of Connecticut residents.

During this blizzard emergency, CT Senate Republicans are putting people first, working with municipal leaders and others for public safety.

That should remain the focus during the blizzard.

Not politics.

Meanwhile, this Wednesday, the full state Senate is voting on more than a dozen so-called ‘emergency’ bills which haven’t gone through the legislative process and won’t make Connecticut more affordable.

Why even have a legislature when an ‘emergency’ can be declared by Democrats and the public is rendered voiceless?

When there is an actual ‘emergency’ declared by the Governor, Democrats ram bills through.

And when no ‘emergency’ exists, Democrats ram bills through.

Get the picture? You get what you vote for.”
