The "master amendment" is still a concern. Be sure to show your support for public education by attending the rally at Hartford tonight.
CT News Junkie | Appropriations Committee Passes Education Bill Untouched: "Lawmakers debated the bill for about 15 minutes before they voted, and they introduced no amendments. Earlier in the day, Rep. Andrew Fleischmann, D-West Hartford, told reporters outside the Democratic Caucus that he would be “asking people to recognize that there are discussions ongoing; that the bill that hits the floor of the Senate and the House will be different than today’s bill, but that we should not amend this bill in committee if we care about achieving meaningful education reform this year.”
Fleischmann said he was still committed to passing a reform package before the session ends on May 9 and that any Appropriations Committee amendments would set the clock back roughly two weeks.
Fleischmann said a “master amendment,” either from Democrats or a bipartisan effort, will be introduced once the bill gets to the floor."
