Bipartisan Solution to Infrastructure Funding Gains Traction in Connecticut

CALL 888-81-GORILLA(46745)

Associated Press

Both Democrats and Republicans expressed interest on Sept. 20 in low-cost federal loan programs to help fix Connecticut’s transportation infrastructure, following months of debate over electronic tolls.

It’s a concept Gov. Ned Lamont has been considering as he reboots his stalled transportation improvement plan that had relied heavily on highway tolling and didn’t get enough support in the General Assembly earlier this year.

“I think it’s a big step in regards to something that we may be able to get consensus on and something that’s fiscally feasible for the state of Connecticut and something that’s affordable,” said House Minority Leader Themis Klarides, RDerby, following a closed-door briefing at Connecticut’s Department of Transportation headquarters from the federal Build America Bureau about the available loan programs.

“So, I think it is a game-changer in a lot of ways,” she said. “As of today, I think this is something we should be

hopeful about.”

Sept. 20’s meeting comes as the Democratic governor is expected to present his new “CT 2030” transportation plan in the coming weeks. The Build America Bureau programs could be part of that initiative.

“This has been a summer of back to the drawing board.

It’s been a summer of the chief of staff looking for new solutions, along with Connecticut DOT, about how we can make Connecticut a better place 10 years from now,” Max Reiss, Lamont’s communications director, said in an interview.

Despite their unpopularity with many lawmakers, especially Republicans, tolls could still be part of Lamont’s rebooted plan, albeit fewer than first proposed by the firstterm governor.

“I think we’re still looking at a user fee program,” Reiss said. “But what you’re not going to see is something that is on every highway, every bridge, every crossing. You’re never going to see that again with this administration.” see FUNDING page 10

Crane Operator Gets a Bird’s Eye View of the Community “To me, there is an element of art. Every time I pick something up, I try to be a little smarter than I was before. I am always trying to do it better.”

Scott Callahan Procopio Enterprises Inc.

By Thor Jourgensen THE DAILY ITEM

LYNN, Mass. (AP) Towering 162 ft. above the ground and painted red, the place where Scott Callahan goes to work every day has dominated the city’s skyline since mid summer.

Callahan operates a crane being used to build Procopio Enterprises Inc.’s apartment construction project underway between Oxford and Munroe streets. To reach the crane’s operator’s cab, Callahan climbs 11 ladders mounted one above the other and encased in metal safety cages every workday shortly after 6:30 a.m.

He shoves his 6-ft. 6-in. frame through a hatch atop the crane and climbs into the 4-ft. by 8-ft. cab with its panoramic view of Lynn and points beyond where he spends the day.

A Maine native, Callahan, 60, has operated cranes since 1981. His grandfather started a crane company in Mechanic Falls, Maine, that was eventually sold, but not before Callahan started working high in the sky.

Crane jobs have taken Callahan around the country. He worked Boston’s Big Dig project and helped build power plants. A Las Vegas job put him 430 ft. off the ground working a crane on a high-rise construction project.

An International Union of Operating Engineers Local 4 member, he earns $62 an hour.

“Safety is very important to me. I have 45,000 hours in a crane and I’ve never hurt anybody,” he said.

The Munroe Street project will require his skills for about eight months. Seated in his cab, Callahan uses two joysticks to manipulate the crane. The crane’s boom or horizontal section is more than 200 ft. long and outfitted with a hook that Callahan manipulates

along the boom’s length. He lowers and raises it to lift up to four tons of construction material into place. Workers on the ground communicate with him by radio.

It takes Callahan 10 minutes to climb to his cab. On the way up he pauses to examine pins and joints at intervals on the crane tower to make sure nothing is amiss with the giant structure. After he climbs through the hatch, he walks along the boom’s back section to conduct a similar inspection.

Big generators power the crane, including one running the lights mounted on the boom and required under Federal Aviation Administration regulations.

“We’re in a flight path,” he said.

Once he is seated in the cab, Callahan stays there until quitting time rolls around at 3 p.m. That feat of bladder endurance requires planning.

“You lug a bottle of Gatorade up. You drink it. You use it. You lug it down. The money’s good but the logistics suck,” he said.

He has known feast and famine as a crane operator. He was out of work “an hour” before landing a job in Las Vegas. But he has also known what it is like to go months without work. Callahan lives in Windham, N.H., with his wife, Katreena, and their son, Alexander, and daughter, Sabrina.

His children have joined him for lunch on a job site when he is operating cranes equipped with hydraulic lifts that lower the driver to the ground. He admits to occasionally getting lonely working high above the world. But he is inspired by how the crane responds to the touch of his hands to move tons of metal.

“To me, there is an element of art. Every time I pick something up, I try to be a little smarter than I was before. I am always trying to do it better,'' he said. 

Lawmakers Receptive to Fed Transportation Loan Program FUNDING from page 1

But after Sept. 20’s briefing, Democratic legislative leaders avoided talking about tolls, noting the federal programs allow repayment of loans for five years following substantial completion of construction, which Democratic House Majority Leader Matt Ritter of Hartford said would means up to 15 years in many cases. “You have time to figure out revenue,� he said.

Not everyone was impressed. Democratic Sen. Alex Bergstein of Greenwich questioned whether Connecticut’s loan application might get squeezed out by New York, which is seeking funds for a massive rail tunnel project under the Hudson River, and other projects across the country. “The numbers just don’t add up to me,� said Bergstein, who contends Connecticut needs new sources of revenue to fund transportation. “The feds are not going to bail us out.�

Lamont has said for months that Connecticut needs additional revenue to fix its aging infrastructure. But his message on

the subject has evolved. During last year’s gubernatorial campaign, he called for tolls only on big trucks. But after his election victory, Lamont raised concerns about the legality of truck-only tolls and whether they’d even generate enough revenue. He then supported tolls for all drivers.

Lamont worked with supportive Democratic lawmakers on a plan for about 50 overhead tolling gantries on Interstates 84, 91, 95 and parts of Route 15. But the concept generated vocal opposition from citizens and legislative Republicans. There was also reluctance by many Democratic lawmakers to pass a tolling bill, and the session adjourned without a vote on tolls. Despite hope for a compromise over the summer, that didn’t happen either.

Lamont now hopes his scaled-back proposal will be more palatable to lawmakers.

He’s also signaling he may use a longdelayed bonding bill, which includes borrowing for capital projects across the state, as political leverage to get something passed. “The governor is very clear that any plan on bonding has to adequately address our transportation needs,â€? Reiss said. 
