If you wonder why CT has such a hard time doing its budget, you can understand the overall issue by reading the CT Constitutional Amendment available below:
www.sots.ct.gov/sots/cwp/view.asp?A=3188&Question_ID=392288
On careful reading you may have to read it again, and again, ........ The definitions that are needed are not given so you can interpret them in any number of convenient/inconvenient ways depending on your preferences.
Unlike states that put budget caps in place through a voter initiative or referendum, CT continues to rely on the "mash-up" which is "in effect" ineffective despite the will of the people when this was passed with much congratulations amongst the legislators for a job well done.
Come to think of it, that same tone was evident at the end of the 2008 election when campaign finance reform efforts were appplauded as a success even though the incumbents were re-elected and new members were absent.
Funding elections only re-elects the incumbents, as we can now demonstrate, and does not attract new blood as intended.
