Newly elected Gov. Ned Lamont, Lt. Gov. Susan Bysiewicz and Attorney General William Tong kicked off a new era in Connecticut history Wednesday at the State Armory in Hartford with swearing-in ceremonies and later at the Connecticut Convention Center with Lamont's Inaugural Ball. In his first speech to the state Legislature Wednesday afternoon Lamont promised not to use tricky math to balance the state budget and announced his policy would be "Show me the money, or show me the door." Earlier in the day at the State Armory, he told attendees that his plan would be to get all parties together to solve the state's fiscal problems. "This is our chance to reinvent Connecticut, to think big and act boldly," he said. Tong posted his first official press release Thursday, highlighting a settlement with Fiat Chrysler worth $72.5 million to resolve allegations from 51 states and territories that the company manufactured and marketed more than 100,000 vehicles with software that circumvented emissions standards. "Vehicle emission standards exist as a way to protect the air we all breathe, and companies that knowingly seek to circumvent those standards will be held accountable," said Tong in the release. "These settlements are critically important in righting the wrongs of the emissions cheating scandal." Connecticut served on the leadership team of the multistate working group that investigated the two companies and negotiated their settlements, and will receive civil penalties of $1,398,892 from Fiat Chrysler, including $373,370 for violations of Connecticut's Unfair Trade Practices Act and $2,960,722 from Bosch. Connecticut's total $4,359,614 million in penalty funds will be deposited into the state's General Fund.
