Connecticut’s fiscal guardrails, which include several types of spending restrictions, in recent years have helped the state regain budget stability, replenish its rainy day fund and pay down long-term pension liabilities.

That has been seen as a positive for a state that, in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis, faced a barrage of annual budget deficits.

Some Democratic lawmakers have expressed a desire to loosen the guardrails in order to spend more money on government programs or constituencies, as the state faces the possibility of collecting an extra $1.3 billion extra in tax revenue over the next two fiscal years compared to projections.

Should CT lawmakers alter the state’s fiscal guardrails?
