GOV. CANDIDATE GINA RAIMONDO VOICES OPPOSITION TO SAKONNET TOLLS

Democrat candidate for Governor (and current RI General Treasurer) Gina Raimondo expresses her opposition to Sakonnet tolls (link below). Most announced Democrat & Republican candidates for Governor (not sure if Pell has taken a stance yet) have come out against Sakonnet tolls. 


It will be difficult for any candidate in upcoming primaries who doesn't oppose tolls to explain to voters how he/she supports tourism while also supporting one of the biggest hindrances to it. And since the next Governor will almost certainly be someone opposing tolls, it's added incentive for the General Assembly to eliminate the tolls now.
