The tolls are suspended from now until the May 4 election. Once the public gets a taste of freedom from the CCC tolls, there's no looking back. The pro-toll cause is doomed.
To put things in perspective. In New York they just raised the toll to cross the Verrazano Bridge to $15.
Never understood the whining over a buck.
For me, it's not about the buck. It's about where the money goes, and the politicians who are leading the public to believe that the bridge would fall under disrepair and the lights would go out if the tolls weren't extended. Those politicians and those public officials who have supported the tolls have not been truthful about where the money goes.
I'd be more than happy to support the $1 toll if 100% of the money went to useful things like infrastructure, but I can't say that's true.
The other problem I have is the fact that the vote was for a TWENTY YEAR EXTENSION. That's completely unnecessary. That alone reeks of corruption. The toll extensions should be for four years and appear on every presidential election ballot.
