Tell me something I don'tknow...

Gov. Rell is scheduled to deliver her opening remarks to the 2009 General Assembly convening in Hartford this morning. The governor is schedule to make those comments in about an hour. I'll jump back on after herspeech and comment more directly on what she had to say after the fact.

But there was another "interesting" development in terms of the state's budget problem that came out of Hartford yesterday. Senate President Pro Tem Don Williams, D-Brooklyn, was quoted as saying that any proposal submitted by lawmakers this year that costs money, and doesn't pay for itself, is for all practical purposes....dead on arrival.

That's a rather bold statement. I'll be looking forward to see if that really happens.

More later...
