Gov. Lamont wants special session to vote on highway tolls, hospitals and restaurants during week of Dec. 16

Lamont said he would like legislators to meet during the week of Dec. 16, and House Democrats have been told by their leaders to set aside the dates of Dec. 17, 18, and 19 for possible special sessions. Besides transportation, Lamont wants votes before the end of the year on the annual bond package of construction projects, a comprehensive settlement of a long-running lawsuit by hospitals against the state, and a resolution of a bitter battle between restaurant owners and workers over wages for employees who receive tips. Legislators were still unsure Tuesday night on exactly which issues would be tackled. They have repeatedly delayed votes on tolls, where support has been lacking.
