When he assumed the role of House Minority Leader in November, state Rep. Lawrence Cafero of Norwalk said one of his priorities was to improve the state GOP's public image.
"We are the party of the Jodi Rells," Cafero had said in an interview, referring to the popular Republican governor who won a landslide victory amid Democratic victories around the state and the nation. "We're moderate, common-sense Republicans."
Cafero and his fellow leaders say they are still the party of Rell - minus her tax increases and spending hikes.
It has been a month since Rell unveiled a budget that would pump $3.4 billion into education over five years and boost the income tax and break her party's treasured state spending cap to do it.
