Carol Platt Liebau, Yankee Institute’s president, was published in the Connecticut Post October 29.
“Gov. Ned Lamont has a unique strategy for reducing income inequality, at least on Connecticut’s roads: He’s going to stop poor people from driving on them.
Lamont began 2020 saying he was “doing everything I can to promote public transportation and propel people to get out of cars.”
And just before Christmas, the governor signed on to the Transportation and Climate Initiative, a pact with Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Washington, D.C., to artificially increase the cost of gasoline and diesel so the people most sensitive to high prices drive less and transportation-related greenhouse gas emissions go down.”
