Senate Overrides Veto Of City School Fund Bill
The Senate approved a city school fund measure over the governor’s veto by wide margins. Key votes on Bridgeport and Ridgefield acts shifted party lines as supporters argued the education department errors and funding gaps warranted override. Governor Meakill’s earlier veto and related holiday bill for Martin Luther King Jr. prompted brief debate but failed to pass with insufficient votes.
