Finally the budget bill is on its way to Governor Rell. Not much to add except that freshman Senator Sam Caligiuri-R Waterbury was the lone vote against it due to concerns about the spending cap. From the Courant:

The Senate later approved three other bills Monday that spell out details of the budget package, which would take effect July 1. The House of Representatives is expected to return to the Capitol later this week to vote on one of them.

Both chambers could still vote on bonding bills later this summer.

The bonding bills could become contentious if the Democrats decide that they need to flex some muscle, or spine, or something to show that they really, really do a super majority. There was talk earlier in the year of stripping the Governor of sole authority deciding what gets bonded. In March there was a bill before the Finance Revenue and Bonding Committee that would require the Governor, Speaker of the House and Senate President to decide what gets put on the agenda for state bonds. Rell’s argument against the bill was that the Governor’s role was a check to the spending initiated by the legislature.
