The Day - Rell's latest budget-cut plan fails to assuage Democrats News from southeastern Connecticut: "Rell's press office announced appointments to a six-member commission of local leaders that will recommend where to reduce town aid and also where to reduce mandate requirements. The appointed leaders are Mayor Bill Finch of Bridgeport, Mayor Mark Boughton of Danbury, Mayor Melody Currey of East Hartford, Mayor Jason McCoy of Vernon, First Selectwoman Lisa Pellegrini of Somers and First Selectwoman Susan Bransfield of Portland.
Meanwhile, Reynolds warned, bigger problems lie ahead. His concern is the 'eye-popping' projections like those presented last month to lawmakers by the Office of Policy and Management and the Office of Fiscal Analysis, some of which show a cumulative deficit of more than $8 billion over the three fiscal years after 2011 - the huge structural hole that lawmakers and Rell have so far refused to deal with as they struggle with the current crisis."
