Gov. Ned Lamont’s budget director, Melissa McCaw, ran the gauntlet Wednesday as she discussed tolls and taxes with the legislature’s Finance, Revenue and Bonding Committee. Republican legislators charged the new Democratic governor with straying too far from his campaign promises. McCaw countered that Lamont wants to end Connecticut’s cycle of deficits, and said legislators have a bad habit of promising programs and tax cuts in future years — with no plan for how to pay for them. Lamont, who said during the campaign that he would support tolls only on trucks, not only offered an option last week to toll all vehicles, but also argued that the trucks-only option doesn’t work financially.
