Republican legislators laid out a vision for closing a $350 million budget gap that includes an early retirement incentive for state workers. The proposal contemplates that 1,600 state employees would accept the offer. They would be replaced by workers earning less money, saving the state $79.9 million in the current fiscal year and $95.6 million in 2017. The Republican proposal was presented to Governor Malloy and Democratic legislators yesterday. For details, read the story in the Hartford Courant
