Connecticut Speaker of the House Matt Ritter speaks during opening session at the State Capitol in Hartford, Connecticut.

Connecticut Republicans say they’re not happy with how the session went this year. The future of Brookhaven Landfill was the topic of a closed-door meeting with Suffolk officials today. Hundreds of MTA workers racked up six-figure overtime payments last year. And an Equal Rights Amendment to New York’s constitution will not be on the ballot this November.
