Lamont Re-Appoints Marissa Gillett As PURA Chair Despite Concerns
"Gillett, who has served on PURA since 2019, last week revealed in court that she had deleted text messages related to an ongoing lawsuit challenging cuts to gas rates. The deletion, which her attorney said was due to an auto-delete feature on Gillett’s phone and not intentional, sparked concerns about her commitment to transparency.
“In making his decision, surely Gov. Lamont asked her about her deleted government text messages,” Republican state Sens. Jeff Gordon of Woodstock, Rob Sampson of Wolcott and Stephen Harding of Brookfield said in a joint statement Monday. “In making this decision, surely the governor asked her, ‘What did you know and when did you know it?’”
The governor must provide overburdened ratepayers with those much-needed answers, the senators said."

Connecticut one of worst states for road conditions: Report
"A report from the Federal Highway Administration shows 2,100 miles of road in Connecticut are classified in poor condition.
Taken by itself, that number would make Connecticut one of the worst states for road conditions in the nation.
Those numbers seem to support what many people believe: Connecticut’s roads need improvement."

Connecticut changes formula to calculate car taxes, leaving some with higher bill
“Previously, towns used something like Kelly Blue Book to determine a car’s market value. For example, the 2022 Chevy Equinox news car has a Kelly Blue Book value of $19,672. Now, what a car is actually worth if it’s sold does not matter. Instead, towns are required to use the car’s original MSRP, and then use a set depreciation schedule. For the news car, the MSRP is $28,295, and because it’s 3-years-old, you’d multiply that by .80 in Southington. The car’s value is now $22,636, almost $3,000 more than the old system.
While local governments have to use the MSRP, towns can decide if the depreciation schedule starts at 85% or 90%."
