Gov. Malloy said he wants lawmakers back on Tuesday.
Governor Dannel Malloy is calling Connecticut lawmakers back to the Capitol for a special legislative session on the state budget shortfall, even though a bipartisan agreement hasn't been reached.
The Democrat said Thursday that he believes a deal is "close enough" on a plan to cover an estimated $350 million to $370 million deficit in the current $20 billion budget.
Malloy said he wants lawmakers back on Tuesday.
Democratic and Republican legislative leaders emerged together from closed-door talks with Malloy on Thursday to announce they haven't reached a deal. Senate Minority Leader Len Fasano said there was not enough agreement on major policy issues, but didn't elaborate.
