'Super 7' debated in Hartford

Wilton Villager Online: "HARTFORD — The sponsor of a bill to move forward the construction of a long-considered highway between Norwalk and Danbury sparred with the project's chief opponent as he testified before the state legislature's Transportation Committee Wednesday.

State Sen. Bob Duff, D-25, said the proposed highway, known as 'Super 7' to supporters and detractors alike, is crucial for Connecticut's economic vitality. Transportation Committee member and Wilton state Rep. Toni Boucher, R-143, replied that there is no federal or state money allocated for the project, which she said would harm the environment and public health in her town."
