This is business as usual for Connecticut politicians.

I smell a real rat. Why is this legislation ever considered, under any circumstances? It wasn't long ago that Rep Caruso of Bridgeport actually held hearings because he wanted to be a full time vs. part time legislator -- $140K plus benefits, more than three times what the job currently pays. That's another rat -- a really big one.
