Governor Ned Lamont held a town hall meeting in Bethel yesterday afternoon. He was met by demonstrators from No Tolls Connecticut. Implementation of electronic highway tolls was a major topic, as were taxes. Joining Lamont for the question and answer session was the bipartisan group of lawmakers representing Bethel, including Stephen Harding, Raghib Allie-Brennan and Julie Kushner.
Lamont then went on a walking tour of downtown Bethel businesses. They were joined by Senator Julie Kushner for stops at Byrd's Books, run by former First Selectman Alice Hutchinson, and lunch at Jacqueline's.
