Connecticut Democrats' veto-proof majority and the 2025 budget session

The article from MSN discusses the implications of Connecticut Democrats achieving a veto-proof majority in the state legislature as they approach the 2025 budget session. This majority allows Democrats to pass legislation without needing Republican support or facing a potential veto from Governor Ned Lamont, who is also a Democrat. The article highlights that this political advantage could lead to a more aggressive push for Democratic priorities such as education funding, social services, and possibly tax reforms. However, it also notes the potential for increased partisan tension, as Republicans might feel sidelined in the legislative process. The budget session is anticipated to be contentious, with debates likely focusing on how to allocate the state's surplus, whether to invest in infrastructure, increase spending on social programs, or provide tax relief. The dynamics of this session could set the tone for future legislative sessions and impact the state's political landscape.
