Common Ground on the 2009 CT Budget Figure

Where is the person who can define the constitutionally mandated cap on CT legislative spending? Since nobody knows what it is, then a definition does not exist.


We don't even know what a balanced budget is suppose to look like -- nor when it will be formulated. I guess passing the cap a few years ago also created a memory lapse to match the budget number lapse.


Burning former Governor Lowell Weiker in effigy didn't work. So what are we to do next?

i've never heard about a budget cap. Can you give more information? It costs too much too live in this state. Why does the legislature spend so much money. How do we get its power to spend money capped?

Read the state constitution and amendments at Secty of State site on CT.gov. You may need a phd in arcane languages but it exists nonetheless. The difficulties arise in what is or is not "cap" able. Good luck! Perhaps a Voter Initiative could unravel this intrigue.
