CCM is the “state’s largest, nonpartisan organization of municipal leaders, representing towns and cities of all sizes from all corners of the state, with 169 member municipalities,” according to North Haven First Selectman Michael Freda, right, greets Gov.

Fasano: It’s time for Dem leaders to show their hand on tolls By Jacqueline Rabe Thomas © The Connecticut Mirror

January marks the beginning of First Selectman Michael Freda’s term as president of the Connecticut Conference of Municipalities, the first time he has held that position.

Freda was elected at CCM’s 2019 statewide convention at Foxwoods Resort Casino. He takes over from Waterbury Mayor Neil O’Leary. Last year, Freda served as first vice president under O’Leary.

Senate Minority Leader Len Fasano, R- North Haven, called an impromptu press conference Monday to demand Democratic leaders in the senate and the governor’s office show their hand about whether they have the votes to pass a transportation bill that includes tolls on trucks. “They need to stop pretending they can pull a deal off because they can’t,” Fasano said. “It’s been talked about forever and we are no step closer to resolving this issue to the detriment of businesses and the state of Connecticut. … They had their shot. They tried the best they could. They can’t get there.” Gov. Ned Lamont’s push to get the General Assembly’s approval for tolls began last January, but has failed to be called for a vote since then. When the legislative session ended last spring, the administration aimed to generate support over the summer and bring it across the finish line during the fall, after municipal elections. That goal has been pushed back month after month, and the administration is now aiming for a vote before the legislative session begins Feb. 5. But that window is closing. No vote is scheduled this week and legislators have not been told to reserve a date to come in for a vote.

Fasano says that’s because the votes are not there. “You are running out of time,” said Fasano. “We all know the truth: these guys are never going to do tolls in regular session.” Last week, Senate Democrats met privately to discuss whether they had enough votes to approve tolls. Senate President Pro Tem Martin M. Looney, D-New Haven, said at the time that members of his caucus had a significant list of questions and conditions that must be addressed before he can assure the 18 votes necessary for passage in the Senate. “We have a contingent consensus of 18 members who have not rejected the concept of a bill to toll trucks on bridges only,” Looney said. On Monday, a spokesman for the Senate Democrats said nothing has changed. “When Senator Looney said the Senate Democratic caucus had a contingent conSee Tolls, A8

Police serve warrant in 2018 crash involving six vehicles

Vanacore was arraigned in Meriden Superior Court Jan. 9. The judge set bond at $5,000 and continued the case to Feb. 13.

One occurred at State Street and Clintonville Road, according to Vanacore’s arrest warrant. A driver at the scene reported that he was struck from behind by a gray sedan traveling at a high rate of speed with its headlights off. His vehicle was pushed into the car in front of him. Both drivers reported injuries and were taken to Yale New Haven Hospital, the report said. On Upper State Street police found a gray Nissan Altima

Vanacore told police a deer ran in front of his car and he went off the road to avoid hitting it, the warrant said. Blood test results showed Vanacore’s blood alcohol content was 0.23, almost three times the legal limit of 0.08.

Honored to serve Editor : I’m excited to announce my candidacy for re-election as State Representative for North Haven, the 87th District. My goals will be to continue to advocate for better jobs, a fiscally sound state budget, local education, veterans, seniors, the needy, public safety, and to improve our state’s healthcare. Also, I will continue to promote open, transparent and honest government. I have been a lifelong resident of our town and had the privilege of raising my three children here.

– and I’ve been involved in the community for decades. While I’ve maintained a 100 percent voting record over the last nine years in office, my dedication is greater for the people of my hometown. I will continue holding my regular office hours at McDonald’s as well as having an open-door policy and being an active participant in our community.

I will continue to fight for all the people of North Haven, and I look forward to visiting many homes during my campaign to hear your needs and address your concerns. It’s an honor and privilege to serve the people of North Haven. Thank you. State Rep. Dave Yaccarino

New year, more puzzles

Reading challenge The North Haven Library presents its Second Annual Children’s Winter Reading Challenge sponsored by The Friends of the Library.

The North Haven Memorial Library hosted its first Puzzle Off of 2020 on Saturday, Jan. 11. The Puzzle Off started at 10:15 a.m. and was scheduled to end at 1:30 p.m. However, the winning team, Puzzle Free or Die, brought an end to the competition at 12:26. Congratulations to Puzzle Free or Die and to the runner-up group, which was compromised of individuals who signed up without a team and were placed together. Still, the pieced-together squad managed to finish just 10 minutes behind the champs.

This free program, which runs through Feb. 28, will help children navigate the library and experience the many materials and services the library has to offer, all while earning a prize. Puzzle Free or Die: Eb Caron, Dan Caron, Emily Meade, Jake Sherman, Susan Yenchick, honorary team member Al Yenchick and team mascot Will Caron.
