Sen. Tony Hwang, Sen. Paul Cicarella, Sen. Jeff Gordon and Sen.

“192 miles per hour? We commend the Connecticut State Police for their diligence.

Our Connecticut highways are the ‘Wild Wild West’.

We must support our state police in their efforts to apprehend those who threaten the safety of other motorists.

This example, like street takeovers, is an issue which we cannot be complacent about.

We must proactively pass bipartisan legislation to crack down on this highly dangerous activity.

If we don’t, preventable tragedies will occur.”
