Governor Lamont learn of sudden opposition to his plan to install tolling gantries on Connecticut highways.
00:00 - 00:03 | Governor Lamont, they have started protesting tolls here |
00:04 - 00:05 | ...and here.. |
00:05 - 00:07 | The Berlin Turnpike through to Hartford |
00:08 - 00:12 | The population recognizes that |
00:12 - 00:15 | Tolls are merely another form of taxation. |
00:17 - 00:19 | What do we have to distract them? |
00:19 - 00:21 | Gun control, LGBTQ, XL Center upgrades? |
00:24 - 00:26 | Governor, we have... |
00:27 - 00:28 | We have... |
00:31 - 00:33 | ...we have used every distraction we have. |
00:34 - 00:36 | We have nothing left. |
00:53 - 00:58 | Everyone who doesn't believe that we will use toll money to fix the roads, leave now. |
01:13 - 01:15 | To FIX the ROADS! |
01:15 - 01:17 | Tell them we will fix the ROADS! |
01:18 - 01:23 | They can't know the transportation lockbox is a sham! |
01:25 - 01:28 | They bought it during the election... |
01:29 - 01:31 | They should buy it now. |
01:31 - 01:34 | They couldn't have suddenly gotten wise, |
01:34 - 01:37 | someone must have leaked our plans |
01:37 - 01:40 | to build another busway and railway! |
01:40 - 01:42 | Governor, the busway loses money every year. |
01:42 - 01:46 | I don't care! We need it! |
01:46 - 01:48 | Governor, it doesn't even make 10% of what we put into it. |
01:48 - 01:52 | Then we put more money into it! |
01:53 - 01:54 | Tolls, dammit! |
01:56 - 01:57 | We need more of their money to spend! |
01:57 - 02:00 | Do you all want to lose your benefits, your pensions? |
02:00 - 02:03 | Then you'll pass the toll bill |
02:04 - 02:08 | And put tolls EVERYWHERE! |
02:08 - 02:13 | We need more revenue, not spending control. People can't leave if they can't afford to. |
02:14 - 02:16 | We will have them by the balls. |
02:17 - 02:21 | They might hate us, but they'll never vote us out. |
02:27 - 02:29 | We need this money. |
02:30 - 02:34 | I can feel the money coming in. |
02:34 - 02:36 | We can squeeze every drop of cash from them |
02:41 - 02:42 | Vote my tolls in. |
02:43 - 02:47 | Vote my tolls in or so help me, I will tax you to death! |
02:48 - 02:53 | We control both the House and the Senate |
02:54 - 02:56 | It shouldn't be this difficult. |
02:56 - 02:59 | It will be a flush of money from our own people |
03:00 - 03:02 | and they'll be too stupid to realize what we're doing. |
03:04 - 03:07 | It's not your fault for voting for him. |
03:14 - 03:16 | We'll do it again. |
03:19 - 03:23 | If it doesn't pass, we will do it next term. |
03:25 - 03:26 | Next term... |
03:31 - 03:33 | The money will come. |
03:40 - 03:46 | In the meantime, we can always find something else to tax. |
03:46 - 03:49 | Or permit a new casino. |
03:53 - 03:56 | The money will come. |
