Budget panel braces for intense hearing on CT employee raises and bonuses

The General Assembly’s Appropriations Committee is bracing for an intense public hearing Monday as it gathers opinions on proposed state employee bonuses and raises that could cost Connecticut nearly $1.9 billion between now and 2025.

The hearing, scheduled to begin at 10 a.m., will be streamed live on The Connecticut Network and on the committee’s YouTube channel.


The committee, which faces the annual task of proposing the state budget, is prepared for an issue that has already polarized the General Assembly, as well as labor and taxpayer advocacy groups.
