Editorial: Connecticut Needs Tolls

The Day editorializes that Connecticut Governor Ned Lamont was right, the state needs tolls to replenish the Special Transportation Fund, its primary highway maintenance and construction purse, and begin developing a 21st-century transport system. It also supports Lamont’s decision to defer to the legislature when it comes to resolving the partisan impasse over financing of infrastructure improvements. “You can hardly blame him,” the editors write. “The newly elected Democratic governor faced an embarrassing policy defeat in 2019 when he could not get support for his toll proposal despite his party holding solid majorities in the House and Senate.”
