Proposed CT Tolls Could Impact All Vehicles:

Connecticut Governor Ned Lamont could be rolling back on a campaign promise just over a month after being inaugurated.

Months before officially being voted into office, Lamont proposed bringing back tolls, but only for interstate trucks. Now, he’s proposed the option to toll all cars and trucks on Connecticut’s roadways, according to the Connecticut Post.

The announcement came in an op-ed in five Hearst Connecticut Media newspapers after Lamont’s Chief of Staff Ryan Drajewicz said Lamont’s possible change of heart came after seeing the amount of money tolls could bring in.

The Connecticut Post reported that the toll option could bring in $800 million per year. Tolling trucks only could bring in less than half of that.

Drajewicz said this conversation surrounding tolling all vehicles is just the “start of the discussion.”

Declared State Of Emergency Declared Could End Up In Court:

After signing a bill that prevented the government from shutting down for the second time this year, President Donald Trump declared a “State of Emergency” to receive funding for his southern border wall.

Trump himself said during the announcement that he expects his decision to end up in the Supreme Court.

According to NBC News, the legal fight stems back to the question of if Trump can defy Congress by declaring a national emergency to receive money for the border wall and whether or not that money can be allocated from congressionally approved military construction projects to build the wall.

NBC also reported that both Republican and Democratic lawmakers are concerned about Trump’s announcement.

Despite the state of emergency, the bill Trump signed last week includes more than $1.3 billion for 55 new miles of border fencing as well as money for other border security measures, NBC said.
