Gov. Rell Tries to Explain Proposal to Split Agency

Posted to State Capitol

Last month the Capitol press corps tried to nail down Gov. M. Jodi Rell on her three strikes proposal; this month it was her plan to split up the Department of Transportation.

“I know this may sound confusing, but it may remain as one agency with two very specific, focused departments,” Rell said. “They don’t necessarily have to be two agencies.” She said it may be two different agencies or a Department of Transportation and within that there could be two agencies with two separate focuses.

Confused?

Click the play arrow to watch some of her explanation and dialogue with Connecticut Radio’s Steve Kotchko. And here to read what the Tri-State Transportation Campaign thinks about the split.
