A few weeks ago I heard through the grapevine that there might, in fact, be some legislative movement on an issue I’ve been writing about a bit. Turns out that the rumours were true. Today’s Courant reports that the State Democrats are, indeed, going to try to change state law to allow we the people to fill U.S. Senate vacancies.
Unfortunately, due to the resignation from the State Senate of Bill Finch (who became mayor of Bridgeport), and the real possibility that the Republicans will win the election to replace him (what’s up with that?) the Democrats may lose their veto proof majority. Now we’ll see if the Democrats have the ability to maneuver Rell into signing the law.
