Lamont to Rally Democrats on Budget With Wednesday Call.

Governor Ned Lamont will seek support for his budget proposal on a conference call Wednesday afternoon with local Democratic town committee chairs and state central committee members. The call is scheduled for 4:15 p.m. and will include party chair Nancy Wyman. Wyman was the lieutenant governor for 8 years in the administration responsible for many of the troubles Lamont confronts in his new budget.

The governor’s budget proposal is heavy with regressive taxes that would once have elicited howls from Democrats. Today’s conference call will begin to reveal if Democrats will remain silent as Connecticut residents face more punishment from their state government.
