Connecticut moved one step closer to reinstating net neutrality along state lines when Lt. Gov. Nancy Wyman cast a tie-breaking vote in the evenly divided Senate. The measure helps preserve an open internet, and enshrines the concept of net neutrality into state statute. “At the beginning of the year, Senate Democrats said we’d fight for a net neutrality bill in Connecticut, and this evening Democrats delivered on that promise,” said State Senator Terry Gerratana (D-New Britain).
