Phaneuf, Journal Inquirer05/23/2007read at sourceHARTFORD - Democratic state lawmakers Tuesday answered the question that has been asked since they captured two-thirds majorities in the House and the Senate in November: Could they stay united on an issue to override a veto from Republican Gov. M. Jodi Rell? The answer was yes. With votes of 102-47 in the House and 24-12 in the Senate, Democrats overrode Rell's veto of a measure that would force the executive branch to get approval from two legislative panels before seeking federal approval to make rule changes to social service programs.
