Social-service funding? So much for moving Connecticut forward. Call me idealistic, I thought they might be gearing up to to use it on something that was a "big idea".

If Rell vetoed the budget (can she veto the budget?), then it'd most likely need to go back for edits before it could be either re-passed or overridden. Dyson, to his credit, opposed it both now and in 1985. Not a Granny-come-lately like Rell on this issue, "limiting executive power for thee but not for me." “Shock” is a little bit much… they overrode this bill because it required zero arm-twisting or bargaining to do so.
