Finally, Rell Tackles Speeding State Workers
Thursday August 14,2000
Gov. Jodi Rell's vast PR machine just issued one of the more sensible news releases the blogster has seen in a while. She has ordered that state cars have bumper stickers with a phone number for complaints against the state-employee drivers.
Cool, now I can finally found out, maybe, who the person is in the state Prius who always passed me on the parkway at about 75.,
Until the stickers are on, there will be an online reporting system is available at FLEET.CT.GOV for an online reporting form, which started this week.
“Connecticut citizens as well as visitors to our state have every reason to expect cautious and courteous driving by state employees,” Rell said in the statement. “They have every right to let us know if anyone in a state vehicle is not obeying the rules of the road. This is really another way to ensure that state government is responsive to the citizens it serves.”
The state Department of Administrative Services has about 4,230 vehicles, including 833 in the Department of Children and Families; 453 for the Department of Correction; 406 in the Department of Developmental Services; 270 for the Department of Environmental Protection; and 190 in the Department of Transportation.
Rell told department heads that the DAS will notify them as complaints come in.No word, however, on potential sanctions when.busted by taxpayers. Hope springs for personal responsibility.
