How they voted

The Connecticut General Assembly voted yesterday on a number of bills that were vetoed by the Governor. Every member of the Middletown delegation (listed at the bottom), voted to override the Governor's veto on each of the bills that was brought up:

• SB1162: AN ACT REQUIRING CONSENSUS REVENUE ESTIMATES. The Governor's veto was overridden.
• SB1078: AN ACT ESTABLISHING A BI-STATE LONG ISLAND SOUND COMMISSION. The Governor's veto was overridden.
• SB922: AN ACT CONCERNING AFFIRMATIVE ACTION AND CONTRACTING PROCEDURES FOR THE METROPOLITAN DISTRICT OF HARTFORD COUNTY. The Governor's veto was overridden.
• HB6502: AN ACT CONCERNING THE STANDARD WAGE FOR CERTAIN CONNECTICUT WORKERS. The Governor's veto was overridden
• HB6582: AN ACT ESTABLISHING THE CONNECTICUT HEALTHCARE PARTNERSHIP. The Governor's veto stands, as the house voted to overturn but the senate did not.
• HB6649: AN ACT CONCERNING THE PROGRAMS AND ACTIVITIES OF THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION. The Governor's veto was overruled.
• HB6600: AN ACT CONCERNING THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE SUSTINET PLAN. The Governor's veto was overruled.
• HB6684: AN ACT ESTABLISHING A CORRECTIONAL STAFF HEALTH AND SAFETY SUBCOMMITTEE OF THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE POLICY ADVISORY COMMISSION. The Governor's veto was overruled.

Several other vetoed bills were NOT brought to the floor for a vote. One of those was the repeal of the Death Penalty, which Sen. Doyle, Sen. Gaffey, and Rep. Serra voted against. Another was the Conveyance Bill discussed in an earlier piece in The Eye.
