After pushing the issue for more than a year, Gov. Ned Lamont is pulling the plug on his latest plan for truck-only tolls after the state legislature repeatedly failed to vote on the issue. Lamont said he would instead use state borrowing to increase investment in transportation, which he noted would be paid for 100% by state taxpayers, versus tolls that would be paid for partially by out-of-state drivers. Senate Democrats said they had the 18 votes needed to pass Lamont’s latest truck-only toll plan. House Democrats never publicly released a final vote count. The House needs a minimum of 76 votes in the 151-member chamber.
