Under Failed Gov. Dan Malloy, Connecticut Continues To Fall Into Disrepair

Failed Governor Dan Malloy’s long record of disappointment as governor of Connecticut just got even longer. A devastating new report on infrastructure shows that more than half of Connecticut’s roads are in a state of disrepair, and the state will be forced to spend billions to improve its drinking water infrastructure – more than neighboring states – despite having a much smaller population.

The CT Post reports:

“Connecticut has 21,512 miles of roads in disrepair — 57 percent of the total. By contrast, New York, a much larger state, has 28 percent of its total in similar poor condition. And New Jersey, traditionally one of the nation’s most heavily trafficked state, has 38 percent of its roads in need of major work, according to the report.

Connecticut must invest $3.6 billion in drinking-water infrastructure needs over the next 20 years, according to the report card. For New York, the figure is $407 million over the same time period. For New Jersey, it’s $933 million.”

After years of failed policies and neglect from Malloy, Connecticut is literally falling into disrepair. The unacceptable position of the state’s infrastructure proves even more that new leadership is needed in Hartford.
