EAST BAY LEGISLATORS CONFIDENT SAKONNET TOLLS WILL BE ELIMINATED

It's great to see our East Bay legislators united in working all-out to both eliminate Sakonnet tolls and put in place a fair, responsible, non-toll Statewide process to maintain our bridges. And while it's also great to see increasing confidence that the RI Legislature will do the right thing, it's crucial to not let up the effort until the toll-equipment is actually removed from the Sakonnet Bridge once and for all.

All who oppose these tolls should do their part to stay informed and support our local officials' efforts. Every voter can add his/her voice to the effort to make clear to all elected officials outside the East Bay that there is no benefit to supporting the destructive, unfair Sakonnet Bridge tolls, or failing to create a responsible Statewide bridge-maintenance program.
