CT Senate OKs $43 Billion State Budget Lamont Hails As 'Fair, Balanced,' But GOP Senator Slams
As promised by Gov. Ned Lamont, Connecticut's $43 billion budget is on time and balanced. That wasn't enough good news for 14 Senate Republicans and two Democrats who voted against it on Tuesday night, June 4. By a 20-16 vote, the Senate passed a two-year budget that Republicans complained is full of new taxes and shifts billions of dollars in pension debt onto the next generation of taxpayers. The budget erases a $3 billion deficit that Lamont inherited when he became governor in January. Lamont got the support of legislators in making new investments in health care and boostin…

The longest-on-record government shutdown may have had some unexpected consequences, as investigators were forced to delay the inquiry into whether Westchester resident Hillary Clinton attempted to evade public record laws with her use of a private email account. Earlier this month, a District Court judge agreed to Judicial Watch’s request to depose several individuals regarding the State Department’s response to the 2012 terror attack in Benghazi, Libya. The watchdog group is attempting to determine whether the former Secretary of State sought to evade the Freedom of Information Act by util…

County Legislators Approve 'Ban The Box' Legislation Protecting Workers With Criminal Past
The Westchester County Board of Legislators passed a bill on Monday, Dec. 3 to make it illegal for employers to make job seekers disclose committing serious crimes on their application. The proposed legislation was approved by a vote of 11 to 5.

Mayor Michael Bloomberg Will Spend $80M To Help Dems Flip House
Former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg has made a huge -- some say politically surprising - promise. Bloomberg, a Republican who owns an estate in North Salem, has pledged to donate $80 million to help flip the U.S. House majority in favor of Democrats. Bloomberg also says he will support governors in November -- regardless of their political party -- who share his positions on gun control, climate change, education and other polarizing issues that he thinks are dividing the nation and causing legislative gridlock. In this statement issued on Wednesday, June 20, Bloomberg wrote: &q…
