Lamont’s State of the State address followed his inauguration ceremony, where he and the state’s constitutional officers were sworn in.
“We’re in this together,” Lamont told those gathered for the inauguration. “Together, we will craft an honest, balanced budget which does not borrow from the future, but invests in the future. We owe our kids nothing less.”
