• 6/25/2017 Gov. Malloy Releases Detailed July 1 Spending Plan Alongside Proposed 'Mini-Budget' Alternative

  Governor Dannel P. Malloy today released a detailed “Resource Allocation Plan” for Fiscal Year 2018.

The Governor has also released a proposed quarterly “mini budget,” which would require adoption by the legislature.
