Connecticut Local Politics

Jim Amann has taken tolls off the table:

On Thursday, Amann said he would not support bringing back tolls. He pointed out that tolls were removed from Connecticut highways following the fatal 1983 crash at a Stratford toll booth plaza. “I was shocked to hear what my Republican colleagues were proposing,” Amann said.

Amann said he is officially taking tolls off the table for debate.

Shocked! …But as Christine Stuart notes in this article, Amann was more open to them last year after the Minnesota bridge collapse, although he seems to have cooled to them since.

What changed between 2007 and now?

…Well, I can’t think of anything.
