Dead: Tolls Done for the Year. Lamont Wounded.

Governor Ned Lamont has conceded that the Democratic legislature will not pass his most recent toll plan during this year. Lamont had announced in 2019 that he had staked his governorship on the success of his various tolls plans.

A bitter Lamont announced at a 4 p.m. press conference Tuesday that his trucks-only plan would not be taken up by the legislature for a vote. Lamont will seek to raise the $200 million that he hoped to collect from tolls on trucks by issuing bonds.
