The state Senate is scheduled to convene in special session Thursday afternoon to override Republican Gov. M. Jodi Rell's veto of a campaign finance reform fix.
Rell and the Democrats who control the legislature have been locked in a battle over how much public money should be spent in this fall's election.
The fix is needed because a federal judge ruled that portions of the state's landmark campaign finance reform law is unconstitutional.
Although the House of Representatives and the Senate traditionally conduct special sessions on the same day, they will be split Thursday. The House is not expected to convene until after the August 10 primary.
