COVID-19 Election Response Dear
April 20, 2020 Governor Ned Lamont State Capitol 210 Capitol Avenue Hartford, CT 06106 Re: COVID-19 Election Response Dear Governor Lamont, The UCLA Voting Rights Project requests that you utilize your emergency executive power to order the removal of the absentee ballot excuse requirement for voters through November 2020 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Doing so would allow all eligible voters in Connecticut to request a mail ballot for the August 11tH and November 2020 General Election due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, we believe that your office must issue an order clarifying that Connecticut’s existing absentee excuse language permits voters complying with the State’s “Stay Safe, Stay Home” order, for fear of contracting or spreading the virus, to be eligible for receipt of an absentee ballot under either the illness or physical disability excuse. Under Sec. 28-9(b)(1) of Connecticut law, the Governor may modify or suspend “any statute, regulation or requirement” that “is in conflict with . the protection of public health.” You have already used this provision to move the Presidential Primary from April 28th to August 11th. As justification for modifying Connecticut’s General Statutes, you stated that this order was for the purpose of “protect[ing] the health and safety of voters, poll workers, and the most vulnerable members” of Connecticut’s population.1 You have already recognized the importance of protecting public health while ensuring that all eligible voters are able to safely cast a ballot. In order to continue to protect voter health in Connecticut, your office must issue the removal of the absentee ballot excuse requirement. -
Joint Statement on the Rise in Anti-Asian Hate
March 26, 2021 Governors Issue Joint Statement on the Rise in Anti-Asian Hate “As governors, we take care in protecting the people of our states and territories. The tragic loss of loved ones in Atlanta that left eight people dead, including six Asian Americans, is part of a long and painful litany of acts of hate against Asian Americans across the country.” “Today, and every day, we stand in solidarity, in support, and in shared resolve with the Asian American community. Hate will not divide our states, territories, and communities. We condemn all expressions of racism, xenophobia, scapegoating, and anti-Asian sentiment.” “From the Chinese Exclusion Act to the incarceration of Japanese Americans in World War II to the mistreatment of Muslims and Sikhs after 9/11, this year is part of a history of racism against the Asian American community.” “In the past year, the use of anti-Asian rhetoric during the pandemic has resulted in Asian Americans being harassed, assaulted, and scapegoated for the COVID-19 pandemic. The Center for the Study of Hate and Extremism at California State University in San Bernardino released ndings in early March that showed hate crimes against Asian-Americans spiked 149% from 2019 to 2020, even while hate crimes fell overall.” “What is happening to Asian Americans is simply un-American. We condemn racism, violence, and hatred against our AAPI communities, and we must do more to protect, lift up, and support the Asian American community.” Signed, ___________________________________ ____________________________________ -
October 8, 2020 RE: Employer Support for Regional Proposal For
October 8, 2020 RE: Employer Support for Regional Proposal for Clean Transportation Dear Governor Ned Lamont, Governor John Carney, Governor Janet Mills, Governor Larry Hogan, Governor Charlie Baker, Governor Phil Murphy, Governor Andrew Cuomo, Governor Tom Wolf, Governor Gina Raimondo, Governor Phil Scott, Governor Ralph Northam and Mayor Muriel Bowser: We are a diverse group of organizations and businesses united by the extraordinary opportunity to modernize and decarbonize our region’s transportation system. We are writing to express our strong support for the draft Memorandum of Understanding on the Transportation and Climate Initiative (TCI). We believe that the policy created through TCI will achieve several of our shared goals focused on responding to the impacts of COVID-19: deploying necessary clean transportation technologies; mitigating greenhouse gas emissions from transportation; investing in much- needed public transit, alternative transportation and road infrastructure; and more. Why TCI is Not a Gas Tax TCI is a carbon pricing system focused on an essential outcome: reducing pollution from the transportation sector. A gas tax, by contrast, allows states to raise and spend revenues however they like. TCI’s carbon pricing system focuses on reducing pollution from the transportation sector by placing a cap on carbon emissions while auctioning emissions allowances; proceeds of which would only go towards low-GHG transportation improvements. Investment in Transportation Infrastructure and EVs We are heartened by the opportunity to invest TCI proceeds in new and improved transit solutions that will make transit, alternative transportation modes, and electrification of transportation more affordable, reliable, safe, and accessible. Public transit remains the most low-congestion, carbon-efficient, affordable and equitable way to move people. -
Office of Governor Ned Lamont STATE of CONNECTICUT
Office of Governor Ned Lamont STATE OF CONNECTICUT Senate Bill 884 – An Act Reducing Transportation-Related Carbon Emissions Senator Cohen, Representative Gresko, Senator Miner, Representative Harding, and distinguished members of the Environment Committee, I am Paul Mounds, Governor Lamont’s Chief of Staff. On behalf of the Governor, I am offering my emphatic support for Senate Bill 884 – An Act Reducing Transportation-Related Emissions. On December 21, 2020, Governor Lamont signed a historic and bipartisan Memorandum of Understanding with Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker, Rhode Island Governor Raimondo, and District of Columbia Mayor Muriel Bowser committing to implement the Transportation and Climate Initiative Program (TCI-P) in their respective jurisdictions. TCI-P represents the most impactful policy opportunity in the nation to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the transportation sector, and in doing so provide revenues for investment in communities across Connecticut to reduce the impact of air pollution and improve accessibility for sustainable modes of transportation – particularly in communities overburdened by vehicle pollution and underserved by the transportation system. The TCI-P MOU commits Connecticut to spending at least thirty-five percent of the proceeds from TCI-P on such overburdened and underserved communities. TCI-P sets a cap on the carbon pollution allowed by gasoline and on-road diesel. This cap would reduce over time, guaranteeing reductions in transportation-related carbon pollution in Connecticut. Meanwhile, auctions for emission allowances under this cap would create revenue for the participating jurisdictions, including Connecticut, that can be spent on projects that reduce transportation-related emissions in our communities. Naturally, some opponents of TCI-P have disingenuously spread misinformation about the program because they benefit from the climate status quo – the same status quo that has caused more intense storms, more frequent and intense flooding, and more heat waves and droughts in Connecticut in our lifetimes. -
