Brian Lockhart covers the Connecticut General Assembly in Hartford

Truck Lobbyist Mike Riley’s prayers may have been answered…

… in Beacon Falls.

Here’s our story about a local inventor who has patented a device for removing snow and ice from tractor trailers before the debris goes careening toward other motorists.

Michael Riley, head of the Motor Transport Association of Connecticut, who for years has searched for some contraption to clean off rigs after storms and come up empty, thinks it’s legit.

And he hopes it’s legit, considering his members beginning Dec. 31, 2013 will get ticketed if they hit the road in a snow-covered vehicle.
