With the political collapse of his plan for truck tolls, Gov. Ned Lamont is now proposing to fund transportation repairs and improvements through borrowing — raising concern that there won’t be state money for other projects. Lamont’s decision has sparked concern that highway, bridge and mass transit projects could monopolize most of the state’s long-term borrowing, leaving far less for other capital projects. Ultimately, the derailment of the toll discussion could spark a larger conversation about how the state funds transportation, municipal projects and a host of other capital improvements, said DeLong of the Connecticut Conference of Municipalities.
