New York State Commits Highway Robbery

Full story: WALK 97.5

If you feel anxious crossing New York bridges you may be justified. According to State Comptroller Tom DiNapoli, since 1991, just over one-third of the money in the state's Dedicated Highway and Bridge Trust Fund actually went to repairing and improving our deteriorating roads and bridges.

Here is a good example of highway robbery . When fees went from 50 cents to 75 cents for the GRAND ISLANDS it wasnt long before it went to a dollar. THats because they got sued & had to remove 2 toll plazas . None of it is for upkeep for thre G I bridges it goes for compinsation for the management .RIP OFF.

And that BLIND basturd in Albany is the culprit too. He doesnt see what is going on and they take advantage of it/him.. I'll even bet that NONE of the idea's he has "come up with are of his own thinking!" He is but a puppet taking the state for a free ride and will cry the race card when he get caught with his hand in the cookie jar.. BTW, When they raised the thruway prices illegally, I quit driving on the I-90 and I also buy my gas at the reservations so that NY doesn't get any rax money frpom me to maintain the crummy roads they let go and don't fix.. IF and when they repave the roads and they are safe to drive on again, then and only then will I buy gas off the rez and give the state the 54.6¢ and the Feds the 18.4¢ PER GALLON TAX!!
