Deal or no deal?

The legislative process can sometimes be slow -- painfully slow.

The House kicked off their day at 10 a.m. today. Shortly after they convened, they took a break to caucus. They are still missing in action.

The Senate started at 2 p.m., and they also decided to caucus.

What is the issue that requires so much talking? They are working on a deficit mitigation package. The governor already put her proposal on the table last week. Maybe by midnight, they'll all have a plan they can agree on.

Anyway, since it is currently the calm before the storm here in Hartford, I'd like to pose the following questions about the state's majority party to my blog readers.

Are Democrats doing a good job? Are they taking the right approach when dealing with this fiscal year's deficit? How about their approach for the next biennial budget?

Write your critiques here. I want to read them!
