Legislature Still Waiting for Lamont’s Deal With State Employees on Health Benefits.

Governor Ned Lamont told a Washington business group on March 31st about “big savings we’ll soon be able to announce on health care very soon with our state employees.” Seven weeks later, Lamont has yet to announce a deal.

Details from Lamont of what savings he’s been able to achieve in negotiations with the unions would assist the legislature craft a budget in the final weeks of the legislative session. State employees would also like to know what those “big savings” will mean to them.
