FROM THE NEWSROOM: HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — Connecticut Democrats say theyve reached an agreement on a revised budget for the new fiscal year that begins on July 1. Democratic legislators, who control the General Assembly, are expected to call the budget bill up for a vote this weekend. This years session of the General Assembly adjourns on Wednesday. The revised plan no longer includes Gov. Dannel P. Malloys proposed $55-per-person tax rebate because of a plunge in the projected state surplus. But Malloy says money was found to scrap plans to allow the state Lottery Corporation to run Keno, a gambling game that was originally approved last year as a revenue-generator, but has not yet been implemented.
