[Governor Ned Lamont @GovNedLamont]

Four years ago, I said to the legislature, "Let's fix the damn budget, once and for all."

We did. Now, we have a new job to do.

[Governor Ned Lamont @GovNedLamont]

I’m on my way to New Haven to announce details of a company that has decided to relocate its US headquarters from out of state to Connecticut. We’ll be holding a news conference at 12PM. Glad to welcome the newest member of our state’s business community.

Moderate House Democrats will be caucusing over the next couple of weeks to welcome new members and to propose some policy items for the new legislative session. Hoping to foster a bipartisan spirit with likeminded Moderate House Republicans.

Lamont urges lawmakers not to overreach on tax cuts https://t.co/nSbybzxLbB

[CTBlueDogs @CTHouseBlueDogs]

The structural changes in the 2017 budget have made a difference, we need to hold firm and not break the revenue or spending cap.

[jodi latina @jodilatina8]

⁦@GovNedLamont⁩ says he will not support violating the so-called revenue cap to pay for tax cuts. Sounding more like a Republican he signals to his Democratic colleagues - figure it out. Story at 6! ⁦@WTNH⁩ ⁦@ctcapitolreport⁩ #tax #spend #budget

institutions like @PlattLive do mighty work preparing students to pursue #manufacturing careers. However, as Platt's Dave Tuttle notes here, they cannot keep pace with demand—highlighting the need for more collaboration among all stakeholders. #RebuildCT https://t.co/DTF3g8vqEd

[Governor Ned Lamont @GovNedLamont]

We have a very long list of projects in the works in CT coming out of last week’s bond commission meeting. One of the big reasons why is that the state is in a pretty good financial position today. We’ve approved these investments to keep that momentum going in an equitable way.

[Governor Ned Lamont @GovNedLamont]

Be kind to healthcare workers.

That’s it. That’s the tweet.

[Chris DiPentima @ChrisDipentima]

As @CTHouseBlueDogs' @RepPatBoyd says, the state's current fiscal position represents "a perfect storm." I agree with @KerryAWood that the growing surplus should be used to pay down debt—it also presents a great opportunity for #tax relief. #RebuildCT

To be clear, when I was first elected in 2016, the budget reserve fund was nearly broke. If it had not been for myself, @dannyrovero, Sen. Hartley, @RepJohnHampton, and other Moderate Democrats building a bipartisan coalition and taking a stand in 2017... https://t.co/FyD2B8Lq8C
