HARTFORD, Conn. — Republicans in the Connecticut General Assembly are criticizing the partial release of budget bills ahead of a special legislative session, urging the majority Democrats on Tuesday to delay a planned vote in the Senate on Thursday.

The entire $19.7 billion budget bill was released Tuesday, almost a week after a vote on the deal originally was supposed to take place during the regular legislative session. But Minority Leader Len Fasano, R-North Haven, questioned why another bill that spells out details of the budget has not yet been released to the public.

"The implementer often becomes the Trojan horse of bad ideas, hiding them away in the hundreds of pages of budget implementation language," Fasano said of the bill. He said the special session date should be moved so the public has the opportunity to read and analyze the legislation. He also criticized the Democrats for not providing more information about the revenue they're counting on to balance the budget.

The Senate is scheduled to vote Thursday on the budget bills. No date has been announced yet for a vote by the House of Representatives.

Senate Democratic spokesman Adam Joseph said the majority Democrats already have accommodated the Republicans' vacations and a request not to hold the special session on Monday, the night of the GOP state convention. He said there will be no further delays.

"Listen, the Republicans put themselves in a tough spot by rejecting the budget out of hand," he said. "Now that the Connecticut Business and Industry Association has endorsed the Democrats' no-tax-increase budget, I understand that they might need some time to try to reevaluate their position."

The association on Monday publicly urged the legislature to support the budget deal reached between the Democratic legislative leaders and Democratic Gov. Dannel P. Malloy, noting how the plan does not raise taxes. Last year, the Connecticut Business and Industry Association was at odds with Democratic lawmakers over a budget increased business taxes, a proposal that prompted major employers to threaten to leave Connecticut. Some of those tax increases eventually were rolled back.

"Raising taxes yet again on individuals and businesses will only make the situation worse and lead to further declining revenues," said association president and CEO Joe Brennan.

Details of the Democratic budget released Tuesday show spending cuts were made across state government to help cover a projected $960 million deficit in the new fiscal year that begins July 1. Everything from mosquito control to tax relief for elderly renters has been reduced.

Besides the budget bills, lawmakers also are expected to take up Malloy's latest proposed changes to the criminal justice system during the special legislative session. Among other things, this year's proposal would create a new category of people in the juvenile justice system, known as young adults. Under the proposal, the juvenile court system would have jurisdiction over defendants who are 20 years old by 2019.

It's unclear whether that proposal will be part of the budget-related legislation the Republicans are concerned about.
