Sounding off on toll hikes ~ Buffalo meeting
Yesterday I proposed two different things one to keep the toll increase from happening and even cut the tolls in half.
#1 take the Canal system from them and make it a state funded stand alone entity that saves the thruway authority and toll payers $80 Million yearly. Also dedicated funds from the federal government like the $400 Million they should have received last year at the department of transportation be applied to the thruway system. That alone would cut the tolls in half. So in this one suggestion we see $480 million dollars in savings.
