CT lawmakers greeted by protests at start of unusual session
By SUSAN HAIGHJanuary 6, 2021 GMT
HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) Greeted by hundreds of protesters waving signs, some chanting “you work for us,” Connecticut lawmakers on Wednesday officially convened what will be a highly unusual and possibly contentious legislative session that’s expected to mostly take place in the virtual world as the COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact the state.
Despite the extraordinary circumstances, Democratic Gov. Ned Lamont urged the General Assembly during a pre-taped address to not allow COVID-19 to place limitations on this session. Rather, he called for legislation that expands the state’s commitment to affordable housing, access to broadband, transit-oriented development, small businesses and allowing urban students to attend nearby suburban schools. He also called for legalization of recreational marijuana, sports and internet betting.
