Malloy tepid on federal driver-phone ban

Malloy, in reaction to the Transportation Safety Administration’s request that a national ban be created on cellphone and hand-held computers by drivers, with or without hands-free:

“You’ve got GPS, you’ve got radios and stereos and we’re allowed to drive with kids in the backseat as well. I think there’s a certain amount of overreach involved but you know, again, I have an open mind. I’ll take a look at the data that’s presented, but it’s not where I’d be going right now and I think there are other more-serious issues.”
