Connecticut Democrat Tries to Defund Public Funding, but Fails

On June 26, the Connecticut House defeated an amendment to the budget bill, SB 1801, that would have defunded public financing for candidates for state office. The amendment was offered by Corky Mazurek, a Democrat from Wolcott. His amendment was defeated 37-98. All Republicans but one voted for it, but all Democrats except three voted against it.

The regular session of the Connecticut legislature ended several weeks ago, but the legislature is sitting in special session for the budget bills.
