Episode Details

Governor Ned Lamont establishes a commission to address Connecticuts school funding and accountability issues, aiming for a practical blueprint for change. The group, chaired by his deputy chief of staff Natalie Wagner, includes legislators, education officials, and funding experts. The commissions report is expected in January, coinciding with budget spending caps and elections. Critics argue for more immediate action, as property taxes rise and special ed costs soar. Lamont considers off-budget shifts or emergency overrides to boost grants without violating caps.
