Both Democrats and Republicans came together this morning to vote on if Governor Ned Lamont's decision on extending the emergency declaration powers to February would be overturned
In a vote 6-4, the special committee voted on party lines to allow Gov. Lamont's decision to move forward.
The extension, which would be in place until February 2021, means certain COVID-19 measures will remain until changed otherwise by the governor.
The public health emergency is not over. Period. We have a duty to protect the people of this state. Politics cannot interfere with this duty. Wear your mask. Social Distance. Minimize large gatherings of people. Test. Follow the law. Our lives depend on it, Attorney General Tong said regarding the vote.

Current unemployment rate fell to, what, 8.5%?
If DEMOCRAT states actually FOLLOWED THE SCIENCE and allowed their closed businesses to open, that rate would fall another 2 or 3 points.
Of course, they can’t do that as their objective is to screw Trump. To Hell with their citizens, SCREW TRUMP!!
Ill go you one better. Indoor dining will never return in some blue states.
CT is a failed experiment.
gun sops = gun shops
CT could benefit from seven funerals.
Can actual CT residents verify what is v not still closed at this point?
“POWER! POWER! POWER!”
“Wake up, dear. You’re dreaming again.”
“Oh, sorry. Go back to sleep, honey.”
“POWER! POWER! POWER! I’m so horny. Don’t go back to sleep, honey.”
“Not tonight. I’m tired.”
Ugh, gotta continue to get rid of stuff / start packing here... wish we could move the hell out of CT tomorrow.
Agreed. It is reasonable to allow executive powers to be used in the early stages of an emergency, such as the first few weeks of coronavirus would probably have been justified or during a natural disaster such as a hurricane, tornado, flood etc.
Once the initial emergency has been controlled/contained but is still an ongoing issue like we see now is coronavirus or the cleanup/rebuilding after a natural disaster emergency powers are no longer justified as decisions can be made through the traditional legislative process as needed
Special committee.
Supposed to be a ? mark after that post.
It is such a mess of rules now. We were supposed to go into Phase 3 of 3 back in June or July which included opening bars and arcades among other things, however that has been indefinably delayed. Also, some arcades were allowed to open under Phase 2 because they cited the fact that casinos were allowed dot open in May and they are vary similar environments.
Even if your are opened they have changed rules with little notice, delayed changes or made changes early and no one knows what to expect next.
6 Dems voted for the measure and 4 Republicans voted against it. Could someone tell me about the 10 please. Connecticut in November vote the Commies out. King Ned the first needs to be overthrown in 2022.
