Republicans Offer 75 Amendments To Budget, Including One That Eliminates Planned Parenthood Funding
May 03, 2011
Republican Senators filed 75 amendments on the state budget Monday before debate began at around 4 p.m. this afternoon. It’s unclear how many of them they planned to call, but one of those amendments so infuriated Democratic lawmakers that they held a press conference to address it.
The amendment filed by Sen. Len Suzio, R-Meriden, eliminated $1 million in state funding for Planned Parenthood. Its comes less than a month after the organization was fighting back Republican attacks at the national level.
