HARTFORD – The legislature’s Conservative Caucus today expressed dismay that Democrat leaders and Governor Lamont are apparently still contemplating a special session to take place as late as the end of January to take up legislation regarding state bonding and adding tolls to Connecticut highways, mere days ahead of the start of the Legislative Session, which begins on Wednesday, February 5, 2020.
On January 16, 2020 at the Greater New Haven Chamber of Commerce 2020 Legislative Breakfast, Senate Majority Leader Martin Looney and House Speaker Joe Aresimowicz, were asked about the possibility of the legislature convening in special session for the purpose of passing tolls. Both Democratic leaders stated that they believed that a special session would be called for that purpose, but that it would be just before the start of the regular session.

HARTFORD – In a letter to Senator Len Fasano this week, the Connecticut General Assembly (CGA) Conservative Caucus commented on the Senate Republican transportation funding plan, Fiscal Accountability & Sustainable Transportation Reform, (FASTR) CT, expressing appreciation for the Senate’s efforts, but stating its belief that no responsible transportation funding plan can be developed without incorporating the results of a financial audit conducted by the State Auditors of Public Accounts (APA) and a process audit conducted by a private consulting company that specializes in auditing large corporations using the standards of the Certified Project Management Professionals or similar.
“We appreciate the significant effort Senate Republicans obviously put into developing a transportation funding plan that not only seeks to provide sustainable funding of the Special Transportation Fund (STF) without tolls, but also proposes to pay down the state’s unfunded pension liability to generate revenue in support of fixing our infrastructure,” Mike France (R-42), chair of the Conservative Caucus wrote.
