Lamont/
In the first three days of this week, Gov. Ned Lamont marked two legislative wins and made two major public announcements that could be consequential for an incumbent governor interested in seeking reelection.
On Monday, the governor rolled out a plan for faster rail service to New York. He joined the CEO of Philip Morris International Tuesday to proclaim a headquarters move to Fairfield County.
Later Tuesday, the governor signed legislation making Connecticut the 19th state to legalize recreational marijuana. And on Wednesday, Lamont notched accomplishment with a signing ceremony: a two-year state budget, which received bipartisan support and includes no tax increases other than a road levy for the largest trucks.
Doubling passenger rail capacity under the Hudson is essential, as we’ve said for years and there’s a faster, cheaper and better to get there than Amtrak’s $30 billion Gateway boondoggle. But we must now confess that our criticism was wrong.
With the former South Bend mayor and presidential contender, Secretary Pete, the prime promoter of President Biden’s $2.3 trillion infrastructure plan, his new deputy, confirmed by the Senate Tuesday, is Policy Polly. He’ll smoothly do the politics and pitch the people; she’ll have to do the work under the hood, smartly.
