POLL: RHODE ISLANDERS OVERWHELMINGLY OPPOSE SAKONNET TOLLS


Rhode Islanders oppose Sakonnet River Bridge tolls by an overwhelming 57%-35% margin. Further proof that this toll is not only bad policy, but bad politics. Any government plan opposed by such a wide margin will eventually be reversed, and will negatively impact any politician who supports it (all 2014 Statewide candidates need to be reminded of this poll). 

It's time that our Statewide officials followed the lead of our East Bay Reps & Senators who are working to scrap tolls in favor of a responsible maintenance plan.
