Amann knows how to "fix" the budget crisis

“I guarantee no one would know how to fix the budget crisis except for me,” - former Speaker of the House Jim "Crusher" Amann (CTNewsJunkie, by Christine Stuart)



For those of you who are unaware, the $525,000 turf grant came from Crusher's annual $12,000,000 slush fund discretionary fund. Furthermore, the annual $12,000,000 discretionary fund exists for CTs Governor, Speaker of the House and Senate President. That's a total of $36,000,000 spent annually by those three individuals without direct vote of the legislature on how the funds are spent.
