Statement of Senator Leone on Budget Vote in Senate

Senator Carlo Leone, D-Stamford, said, "People have spoken, and we listened. At the gas station, at the supermarket, everybody said they wanted us to work on a bipartisan budget, and this vote tonight is a reflection of that. It’s also a budget full of compromises that, at some other time, people may not have agreed to. But I think once the clarity of the limited budget options finally hit people, they started working together, and what we’ve got here, in the end, it is a bipartisan budget that moves Connecticut forward."
