Check today’s list of bills in the Capitol mailboxes. The Blogster finds that Sen. Dan Debicella, R-Shelton, seems to be sponsoring many bills that could be translated to his run for the GOP nomination to challenge US Rep. Jim Himes in the Fourth District. Debicella has submitted legislation to “redefine” the state’s constitutional spending cap; requiring the Legislature to “ensure” balanced budgets; and exempting Social Security and pensions from the income tax. The latter, in particular, could be popular back home. But of course the Democrats won’t let it see the light of day.
