Malloy's Gas Tax And Toll Proposal Has Democratic Support [View all]
HARTFORD, CT — In the last year of his term, Democratic Gov. Dannel P. Malloy is calling for a 7-cent increase in the gas tax and the establishment of electronic highway tolls by 2023.
Malloy is also asking the legislature to approve the establishment of a $3-per-tire fee and acceleration of the transfer of car sale taxes by two years to the Special Transportation Fund, which will be insolvent in the next two years if the legislature takes no action.
Malloy made the announcement Wednesday in the Old Judiciary Room of the state Capitol.
