UPDATE. Exclusive: Top Secret & Urgent. Democrats Solicit Toll Supporters for Lamont Westport Meeting.
Democratic supporters of imposing tolls on Connecticut highways sent a “TOP SECRET & URGENT” email Saturday seeking commitments to attend a January 7th meeting in Westport featuring Governor Ned Lamont. The Greenwich Democrat will explain his CT2030 plan at Bedford Middle School at 7 p.m.
Lamont will be “joined by local Democratic legislators who are putting their careers on the line with this plan.” Lamont, the email implores, “needs supporters of CT2030 to show up in force.”
The email notes there has been no public announcement of the event because Senator Will Haskell and Lamont are assisting tolls supporters in creating an advantage over tolls opponents.
The message implores recipients not to share the news on social media. So whatever you do, don’t tweet or post this ruction on Facebook—because the meeting is still a secret.
UPDATE: Lamont spokesman and former NBC Connecticut reporter Max Reiss (or Reese as Governor Lamont refers to him) has issued a statement on a “miscommunication” regarding Tuesday’s transportation town hall meeting:
There will be no town hall meeting in Westport on Tuesday.
