Caution: Connecticut lawmakers at “work”

State lawmakers in Democrat-dominated Connecticut raised income taxes on the wealthy and borrowed more than $1 billion to balance their budget this week. While a minority Republican legislator spoke on the floor late into the night yesterday, what were his Democrat colleagues doing?

Yes, the photos are real. The attitudes of our elected officials are unreal.

    Found this at Michelle Malkin’s website. It’s CYA time…. Classic CYA:

    Our members have discussed and debated the state budget for seven months, culminating in yesterday’s marathon, 13 hour budget session. With little new ground being broken, and the results of the upcoming vote a reasonable certainty, a momentary diversion is understandable. Both representatives insist there was no intent to disrespect the minority leader during his presentation.

    I bet Connecticut voters are more than a wee bit curious about how “momentary” those “momentary diversions” really have been.
