Politics
 in Passing
BY RAYMOND ,. FITZPATRICK

BY RAYMOND J. FITZPATRICK
 Now that the biennial rush of bills into the General Assembly has halted, the ladies and gentle men who sit in the upper and lower houses at Hartford can settle down to considering the passage of needed legislation. The rush of measures which their sponsors hope will be enacted into law reached its crest yester- day, the last day for the introduc- tion of bills.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1941-02-01

A notable feature has been the large number of Implications and near-duplicatiOns. Scores of bills have been offered on the same general subjects, and the texts have been almost identical in many of them. There are g half- dozen proposed state labor rela- tiOns acts, as many or more wages and hours bills, four or five Sav- ings bank insurance bills, dozen or SO f0rbidding Bunds and un- American organizations and prac- tices, and so on.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1941-02-01

Controller Conlon believes he has found a method whereby the im- provements can be paid for, by means of annual bond sales over a l2-year period. without upset ting the citys financial standing and yet bringing about a net re- duction in the city debt. His sug. gestion is one that deserves the careful attention of every tax payer. one that shouldn't be sup- ported or opposed just because of political affiliation.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1941-02-01

The Republicans have been att tempting to look into the future by guessing what bills the Dem ocrats planned to offer and then getting their own bills on the same subjects in first. This has been true of the state defense sys- tenn bill, the state probation bill and several more. It's all part of the G. O. P. program to be able to claim credit for any progressive legislation that is adopted at the 1941 session but the tactics have been so obvious that most Capitol observers just yawn at the in- tended strategy.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1941-02-01

The governor leaves the next steps to the legislature but he has made it plain that he will coun- tenance no undue delays, espe- cially those resulting from purely partisan opposition. It is a good bet that large share of the gov- ernog's proposals will be adopted, though no doubt with Republicans claiming credit for many of them. The rest of MT. Hurley's program, however, will find rocky going in the lower house, and the blocking of this portion may find the gov- ernor taking to the radio and the press to denounce the opposition.
