Remember several months ago when Republican Gov. M. Jodi Rell proposed closing some courthouses, including the building in Norwalk, to help address the state’s budget crisis?
That proposal never came to pass.
But if folks in the Norwalk area want some reassurance, they’ll get it at tomorrow’s Bond Commission meeting at 10:30 a.m. here in Hartford.
The Bond Commission, chaired by Rell, meets occasionally to vote on releasing funds previously authorized by the legislature for various projects.
Included on tomorrow’s agenda (page 15) is approving $150,000 for HVAC upgrades at the Norwalk courthouse.
Since Rell sets the agenda, she’s clearly abandoned any effort to shutter the building.
Or I just stumbled onto a great story about the state spending money on a soon-to-be shuttered building.
