"Ned Lamont's Holiday Breakfast: Tax Cuts and Electric Cars"
Connecticut Governor Ned Lamont addressed the Middlesex Chamber of Commerce, discussing a forthcoming tax cut and personal news of turning 70 and becoming a grandfather next year. Lamont highlighted the upcoming income tax cut set to take effect in January, emphasizing that it signals Connecticut's recovery. He also made light of the recent State Police ticketing scandal and criticized Democrats and Republicans in the General Assembly for their reluctance to adopt regulations for phasing out gas-powered vehicles by 2035. Lamont expressed support for plug-in hybrids and emphasized the need to address range anxiety. The breakfast event, traditionally held in Middlesex County, was moved to Rocky Hill, and the humor has become less edgy compared to previous years.
