Op-Ed: Taxpayers Will Suffer Because Connecticut Failed to Adopt Truck Tolls
The Ridgefield Press publishes a local Democratic Party op-ed column that addresses the consequences of the state legislature’s failure to approve truck tolls. “Every Connecticut resident should be disappointed by the decision to not move forward with trucks-only tolls. . . . Why? Because now we will foot the entire bill for restoring our roads and bridges to a state of good repair. We’ll pay all the interest on our transportation infrastructure debt at rates higher than those we’d have paid by using toll revenue (40%-50% from out-of-state trucks) to qualify for federal TIFIA and RRIF loans. . . .”
