Gov. finds unlikely ally in toll fight

Discussions on electronic tolling continue among Connecticut lawmakers, the state Department of Transportation representatives and members of the Governor Ned Lamont's administration.  Lamont recently told a Chamber of Commerce luncheon that Connecticut has lost some of its location appeal between Boston and New York because of the highway gridlock and slow trains.  Lamont has found an unlikely ally in his push for electronic highway tolls.  While he faces opposition from Democratic members of the Danbury legislative delegation, Lamont says the Trump administration has been a good partner. They say if there's an independent revenue stream, Connecticut could be first to get federal funding from an infrastructure bill.  An infrastructure bill has not yet come before Congress.  State lawmakers adjourned in June without a resolution to how to pay for long term transportation improvements.  They're not back in session until February.
