Policy Corner: Gov. Ned Lamont’s New Tolls Bill Reveals More Gaps between Empty Promises and Bill-Text Realities

Hope for new federal highway bill dims, but CT ‘not ready’ for it anyway (5/22/19)

The Merritt Pkwy and Conn. Tpke were told roads, then the tolls were removed. Gee, what's old is new again! I don't mind paying REASONABLE tolls, they are in a sense a user's fee. But if AND ONLY IF other taxes are reduced or eliminated and the proceeds are used for maintenance and upkeep of the roads.

I was an original member of the Ban All Tolls movement in Ct. I drove 95 and the Merritt and paid four tolls every day. Waiting in long lines to pay a tax four times a day for fifteen years drove me crazy.

During the campaign to end all tolls, a trucker killed seven people at the Stratford tolls. The tolls came down in 90 days.

Ct is desperate for revenue. The public employee unions are wringing the last buck they can out of the taxpayers. One of the happiest days of my life was putting Ct in my rear view heading to paradise in SC.

As soon as the technology is perfected, taxes will be assessed for every mile of travel your inboard car computer records.

For those (lucky) Freepers who are not in Konnecticut, "House Speaker Joe Aresimowicz" is also the attorney for the state public service workers union.

So, he, in effect, negotiates union deals with himself. "Lovely state you got there - be a shame if anything happened to it...."
