Amid all the anticipation yesterday for a long-in-the-waiting budget deal between majority Democrats and Republican Gov. Jodi Rell, there was some kind of disconnect. While majority leaders said they were hopeful for compromise, Rell made her staff pull back late in the afternoon. It’s 10 o’clock on Wednesday and Rell has scheduled a 10:30 news conference in her Capitol office. Presumably that will give TV stations who need MapQuest to find the Capitol a chance to fire up their computers and make there way over here, on the eve of the General Assembly’s planned special-session day on bonding the 2009 budget deficit of $950 million.
Meanwhile, the guerrilla theater performers who’ve been lampooning her alleged desire to protect the state’s wealthiest, are setting up for a scheduled noon event on the Capitol’s north steps called “Queen Antoinette and Governor Rell Invite you to Eat Cake.” There’s supposed to be free cake and the Blogster imagines there will be big-hair wigs.
