Terri Cronin of Norwalk and John Hartwell of Southport were elected vice chairman of the Council.
“As the Governor’s transportation plan moves forward, it is an exciting time to serve,” said Gildea. “I look forward to helping the Council fulfill its legislative charge by working with all of the various stakeholders to ensure that the voice of the commuter is heard. As daily commuters, the Council has a keen understanding of the issues that the rail commuters within the State of Connecticut face.”
