Grocery tax, school regionalization proposals spur heated debate

Lamont has until Feb. 20 to present a two-year budget to the General Assembly, but his administration floated a trial balloon earlier this week. “Connecticut residents care about their state, and their willingness to share thoughts about this and other important issues is critical to getting us back on track and growing again,” said Maribel La Luz, Lamont’s communications director.
