CT Senate GOP Statement on MA Border Tolls Proposal

Sen. Republican Leader Stephen Harding, Sen. Henri Martin, Ranking Senator on the Finance, Revenue and Bonding Committee, Sen. John A. Kissel (R-Enfield), Sen. Lisa Seminara (R-Avon) and Sen. Jeff Gordon (R-Woodstock) issued the following statement about Massachusetts officials considering putting up border tolls.

“Earlier this month, Gov. Lamont was asked if he would be re-introducing tolls in Connecticut. His response was ‘forget it.’ We urge him to also tell Massachusetts to forget this bad border tolls idea. It will serve as a tax on Connecticut residents, especially on those who live near the Massachusetts border and who work in Massachusetts. Things are expensive enough for hard-working people and their families. They do not want tolls.”
