Sen. Osten Statement on CBIA Opposition to Tolls

HARTFORD – State Senator Cathy Osten (D-Sprague) issued the following statement today in reaction to the CBIA’s stated opposition to instituting tolls in Connecticut, despite its admission that its own members believe that tolls are an acceptable method of funding much-needed highway and bridge repairs:

“Today, to its everlasting shame, the Connecticut Business and Industry Association surrendered its role as a representative of Connecticut’s business community. The CBIA should be the public policy servant of Connecticut businesses. It is not representing its members’ wishes.”
