The time is now. The Senate should not let this moment slip by. The state House of Representatives in the early hours of Tuesday made the difficult but right choice in voting to remove Connecticut’s religious exemption from mandatory school vaccinations. The Senate should do likewise.
Gov. Ned Lamont has said he would sign the bill. It would still allow an exemption for medical reasons, if approved by a physician, physician assistant or advanced practice registered nurse.
The vote was 90-53, Democrats overwhelmingly in support, Republicans largely opposed, but not unanimously, with some House Republicans from this area among those making the correct vote to end the religious exemption. The religious exemption would end on Sept. 1, 2022.

For years, street artist Shek Vega has wanted to paint something on the wall of the E-Z Wash laundromat at Southcross Boulevard and Zarzamora Street.
“I drive that route almost every day, if not two times a day,” said Vega, who grew up just a few blocks away and still lives in the neighborhood. “I’ve always seen that wall, either really white or with graffiti on it, and I always wanted to create something in that space.
Indications are that Gov. Ned Lamont is disinclined to use the large Democratic majorities in the House and Senate to make any fundamental changes in how taxes are assessed in Connecticut. The Democratic governor has rejected calls to raise taxes on the state’s richest citizens and given no sign that he will pursue the property tax reforms he talked about when campaigning for governor.
Though the state awaits his budget proposal for the coming two years, to be delivered soon after the General Assembly returns Jan. 6 (largely in a virtual capacity), Lamont shows every indication of using the state’s large surplus, finding new sources of revenue, and betting on an economic recovery to further boost revenue as the means to balance the state budget not higher taxes.
