All in 2 days work: CT lawmakers clock in for busy special session
Wednesday, 19 November, 2025
Connecticut lawmakers had a lot to do during the latest special session. On top of unfinished housing business, lawmakers had only two days to authorize a $500 million dollar relief package to address federal cuts. They also voted on the purchase of a major hospital and worked to curb increased federal law enforcement efforts in Connecticut. And what about the spectre of rising health insurance premiums in just a few weeks? Today on The Wheelhouse, the skinny on what state lawmakers were able to accomplish in a special session. We’ll also ask what’s next following the longest federal shutdown in US history.
