Connecticut Takes a Big Sip of Kool-Aid
Connecticut moved closer Monday toward becoming the fifth state to adopt mandatory limits on global warming pollution.
The Senate, by a 35-0 vote, gave final legislative approval to a bill that puts caps on emission levels. The bill, already approved by the House of Representatives, moves to Gov. M. Jodi Rell’s desk for her signature.
Proponents acknowledged that a small state like Connecticut passing such legislation won’t solve the problem, but said they hope it will start a trend.
