How laughable that state legislators from both parties are starting to express annoyance with Governor Lamont — some about the pace of reopening commerce amid the virus epidemic, others about financial issues.
When, in March, the leaders of the General Assembly suspended its regular session and then, last month, canceled it entirely, they were frightened of the virus epidemic. But now, after weeks of doing nothing except watching impotently, legislators are starting to seem more frightened of their own responsibilities.
No Connecticut governor has faced as big a challenge as Ned Lamont faces since Abraham Ribicoff, who managed the state’s recovery from the flooding of August 1955 in which 87 people were killed and more than $2 billion of damage in today’s dollars was done.
