Bonding battle

State troopers have begun delivering notices to lawmakers that require them to appear for a special legislative session on Wednesday, the state Senate's Democratic leader said Saturday.

Gov. M. Jodi Rell called the session to deal solely with school bonding projects, after saying Friday that she will veto the $3.2 billion overall state bonding bill approved by the General Assembly Thursday night...

"Gov. Rell is trying to avoid responsibility for a possible veto of the bond bill - a veto that will hurt towns and cities, clean water projects, transportation improvements, and school projects for K-through-12, as well as our public colleges and universities," Williams said. (AP)

With $36billion in unfunded long term liabilities and... I think... another $14billion in bonded projects... I'd offer that Gov. Rell is simply trying to be responsible.
