A Connecticut DMV working group will examine portions of the state’s towing law, potentially leading to more extensive reforms.
The move comes after a yearlong investigation by @ctmirror.org and ProPublica found that the state’s laws favored towing companies at the expense of low-income residents.

The upward redistribution of wealth over the past 50 years has shifted $80 trillion from the bottom 90% of Americans to the top 1%.
That’s $80 trillion that would have gone into the paychecks of the working class.
