We’ll find out in November when this Democrat goes against the Republican on the ticket.
Lamont’s Achilles Heel (CT Republicans _pay close attention_ and contact any party leaders you know) is his position on tolls.
He is claiming tolls will be mostly paid by out of state folks passing through CT. That is a lie. (Now, Lamont is such a stupid idiot that he may not know he is lying, but it is a lie nonetheless.)
Toll roads are regulated by the Federal Department of Transportation. Their current (and relatively new) regulations require that if you (a state) start to toll on one new road you must toll on _all_ highways they regulate.
So, it is simply not possible to have tolls on I-95 and not have tolls on I-91, I-84, Route 2, Route 9, Route 8.
Even crazy leftist commuters don’t want to pay tolls on their local commute or shopping trip.
This is a _big loser_ for Lamont if he is called on it.
