Gov. Ned Lamont to hold town halls on tolls as he touts business support

After unveiling a $21 billion, 10-year proposal, Lamont is now in the selling phase as he tries to convince the state House of Representatives and Senate to jump on board his updated plan that would have 14 tolls on eight highways across the state. The legislature has rejected his previous plans over the past nine months. For months, Lamont’s transportation plans have lacked the necessary votes in the Democratic-controlled state Senate, where lawmakers have been trying to generate Republican support in order to pass something on a bipartisan basis. All 14 Senate Republicans, however, have remained steadfast against tolls.
