Lawmakers forgo fix of campaign law

Hartford (AP) – Connecticut lawmakers aren’t sure whether they will attempt to fix a campaign finance reform law that’s poised to help fund 2010 state campaigns.
The Democratic-controlled General Assembly met in special session on Tuesday, but did not vote on Gov. M. Jodi Rell’s proposal aimed at making the law more amenable to a federal judge who struck it down as unconstitutional.
Lawmakers also did not act on her plan to address the state budget deficit.
Senate President Donald Williams says there’s no clear consensus on how to fix the campaign finance law, which provides public funding to legislative and gubernatorial candidates who observe certain restrictions.
A federal judge says the law is unconstitutional on several grounds, including the fact that it discriminates against minor party candidates.

Never mind making a "LAW" to mandate money be funneled to them be paid by taxpayers........
Worthless idiots...........
Yeah
On that day even Al Gore will declare that global warming is over!
One can only pray for the day that Connecticut comes to grips with what happens when Democrats control everything.
It's a disaster.
