In the midst of an election season marked by uncertainty, one thing is clear: Gov. Ned Lamont will not reintroduce the highway tolls concept next year.
“I”™m looking at other alternatives,” Lamont said yesterday. “I”™m going to put those on the table. And I”™m going to ask the legislature to make a decision.”
Democrats have added seven seats to their state House majority and two to their Senate plurality, with those figures now standing at 98-53 and 24-12, respectively.
Senate President Pro Tem Martin M. Looney (D-New Haven) and incoming House Majority Leader Matt Ritter (D-Hartford) have yet to identify what they view as top legislative priorities for 2021, though Looney has indicated that property tax reform could be on the agenda.
