Ned Lamont late Friday to abandon talks of investing pension assets in the WNBA’s Connecticut Sun and focus on negotiating overdue wage agreements for public-sector workers. Though the governor hasn’t said what amount Connecticut might invest to keep the team here, he did say he believes it could be a sound investment. State employees “deserve the certainty of a dignified retirement, not the uncertainty of high-stakes investments in political pet projects,” the Facebook post continued. Lamont has confirmed some discussions with tribal leaders regarding the Connecticut Sun but discussed few details publicly. But the union wrote that Lamont has a more pressing, overdue issue to resolve.
