That’s a wrap: CT lawmakers react to 2025’s legislative session
Update: 2025-06-11
Description
Connecticut lawmakers recently cemented their priorities for the next two years with final passage of a $55.8 billion budget.
At the end of the 2025 legislative session, they were able to find money for Medicaid programs and invest in our children’s future, especially young children.
But some – mainly the minority in the state legislature – say that it comes at too high of a cost.
Today on the Wheelhouse, the “fiscal guardrails” have been breached and lawmakers will press forward amid a foggy federal funding landscape.
