Wyman: Do Not Step On One Senate Tradition

HARTFORD, CT — Lt. Gov. Nancy Wyman arguably has as much power as anyone in the state with an evenly-split state Senate and her vote eligible to break ties.

But that does not mean she will even dare think about stepping on tradition — walking on the state seal in the center of the Senate floor carpet.

Her seat as the Senate president is called the Wishing Chair.

"Here's what The Wishing Chair sees," Wyman said in Tweeing out some images of her view with the gavel. "Another Senate tradition is you never walk on the state seal in the carpet."

The 2017 session is under way. Wyman lives in Tolland.
