Lamont rules out Malloy’s executive order on tolling plan even if legislature remains tied up on issue

Lamont told reporters on Tuesday that he has no plans to direct the DOT to proceed if he is unable to get House and Senate majorities to authorize an electronic highway tolling system. The first-term Democrat also had no progress to report Tuesday concerning his discussions with General Assembly leaders, or his plans to recall legislators to vote on electronic tolls in special session. Despite holding solid House and Senate majorities, Democrats have been unable to line up enough Democratic votes behind any tolling plan.
