LAMONT TO RUDY: NO TOLLS PLANNED IN DANBURY AREA

Ridgefield First Selectman Rudy Marconi confirmed with Governor Ned Lamont on Saturday, Oct. 19^th, during his visit to Ridgefield, that general tolling on I-95, I-91, the Merritt Parkway and I-84 will not be implemented as was originally planned. This was confirmed again during a call with the governor’s office on Oct. 29^th.

This means there will be no border tolls—or tolls of any type—in the Danbury area and no possible diversion of traffic into Ridgefield due to tolls.

RUDY MARCONI RELEASES STATEMENT ON SEWERS

Ridgefield’s Republican Town Committee, and the campaign of Richard Moccia, continue to mischaracterize and spread falsehoods related to the sewer plant upgrade. To clarify questions around what is a complex municipal project, First Selectman Rudy Marconi has prepared the following. “It’s a long essay,” he said, “but I hope that those who are interested in the project will read it and get the facts.”

I live on Main Street, in middle of the sewer district, and my sewer fees are rising by $280 per unit. Am I happy about it? No, of course not.
But as a member of the Water Pollution Control Authority—and your first selectman—I understand why this is happening. Stay with me a minute and you will, too.
