As the Connecticut General Assembly’s legislative session draws to a close, Gov. Ned Lamont released a working draft of an infrastructure funding proposal that lawmakers will rely on during a special session focused solely on transportation and economic development.
The General Assembly’s regular session adjourns June 5. Because the installation of electronic tolls, a fiercely contested subject, likely will not be resolved before then, the governor has proposed a special session later this summer to further debate the issue. Revenue from the tolls will be deposited into the Special Transportation Fund, which is used to finance highway and infrastructure improvements.
