Issue Position

We must alleviate traffic in New Milford. Widening Route 7 has been beneficial, but timed lights are critical as we bottleneck into town. The proposed "mileage tax" is NOT the answer, but alternative methods should be reviewed such as toll booths at the state line, and protecting the State Transportation Fund from the "borrowing" and tampering with what should be protected. We must pursue commuter rail service again to bring new revenues to downtown business.
