Republicans at the state capitol hope to get out in front of their counterparts by releasing their own budget plan. But what influence will that have on the majority party? Will new casinos be part of the long-term plan?
At the national level, presidential candidates are balancing their budgets with trips to Connecticut's gold coast, including Sen. Marco Rubio who will headline a GOP fundraiser in Stamford on June 4. That's just a day after the legislative session wraps up, so there may be some tired lawmakers in attendance.
Also, with less than a year to go before the Hartford Yard Goats' opening day, Mayor Pedro Segarra asks the state for some help with paying for the new stadium. Elsewhere in the capital city, another chapter in the saga of the registrars of voters and the 2014 election mess wraps up.
