It’s Noon. Do You Know Where Your Judiciary Committee Is?

They’ve been in caucus since before 10. There’s a looming 5 p.m. deadline to act. So there will be a trail of tears throughout the afternoon as debate eats up minutes and hours and bills die on the vine. There are a whopping 75 items on the agenda. Any one of them could result in a multi-hour debate, so Sen. Andrew McDonald, D-Stamford, and Rep. Mike Lawlor, D-East Haven, had better pick their spots for what they’ll bring up for debate. The GOP proposal for the alleged “stream-lining” of the death penalty? The extended statute of limitations on sex offenses? Enhanced penalties for drunken boating? One thing that’s not on the agenda; the reprise of medical marijuana.
