The General Assembly’s Democratic leadership this afternoon announced the legislature would convene in special session at 2 p.m. on Monday – which happens to be the exact same time House Minority Leader Lawrence Cafero, R-Norwalk scheduled a news conference to announce whether he will run for governor in 2010.
“Hey. They’re the majority. They can do whatever they want,” Cafero just told me by phone. “I guess they felt given all the times during the day, 2 p.m. was the time they’d do it.”
Cafero said he was not consulted on the start of the session.
“Are you kidding?!?! Chris (Donovan, the House Speaker) calls. ‘Hey Larry, if you don’t mind…’,” Cafero said sarcastically.
Cafero said he might bump his conference to 1:30 p.m.
