Lamont promises climate commitment won’t cost more than 5-cents a gallon

State Senate Minority Leader Kevin Kelly, R-Stratford, said the proposal indicates that Democrats are “out of touch” by what he calls a new tax.

“Their argument is that it’s ‘only’ a five-cent per gallon tax hike? Tell that to a single mother or a senior on fixed income. This regressive tax hike will burden middle-class families’ budgets at the absolute worst possible time without improving our aging transportation infrastructure,” Kelly said. “The governor and majority Democrats continue to barrage Connecticut families with new and higher taxes.”
