Hartford, CT — Connecticut Democratic Party Executive Director Michael Mandell released the following statement today thanking State Senator Len Fasano for his support of Governor Dan Malloy’s transportation agenda:

“Today, Governor Malloy took a bold step by announcing he will propose a constitutional amendment to “lock box” revenues — because our trains should operate like subways, because congestion on our roads should no longer cost us time and dollars, and because we need a transportation system that will attract new companies and create more jobs now and in the future,” stated Mandell.

“As the Governor initiates this dialogue on an infrastructure, it is good to know that Senator Fasano agrees with the Governor that a Constitutional amendment is a logical first step. This is, simply, a commonsense idea that we should all come together on — and we are glad the Senator, as recently as yesterday, said he agrees with Governor Malloy’s approach.”
