Trend: Eastern State Leader. No Votes on New Tolls.

I thought east coast states ran on tollways, where is there a vote moratorium? Connecticut

Who is pushing for no new toll votes? The Senate leader

What’s the rational? First, the public needs to vote to ensure dedicated transportation funding before the Legisalture votes on tolls.

What’s the transportation fudning situation in Connecticut? The Governor is proposing a 30 year, $100 billion transportation funding plan that will:

• raise state sales tax by 1/2 a penny to 6.85%
• increase the gasoline tax by 2 cents per gallon per year for 7 years
