Wow…. Great article. I hope that more of the media picks this up so the people can see exactly what is going on here.

Rus Thompson must be doing something right, for a large government agency from New York State to be afraid that Rus might be successful in his fight to have a needless toll removed from a previously toll free bridge, if very revealing indeed.

Rus, keep up the fight, you are doing something right!

Rus Thompson is an advocate who lives in the shadow of Buffalo on a small island community of Grand Island, NY. He has been leading a group of citizens on a quest to have the tolls removed from the bridge that leads to their island home. Rus has spearheaded a petition to have the tolls removed and has collected nearly 6,000 signatures to date. You can view his website, No More Grand Island Tolls.

We have reported on his mission in This Story in February of this year. Since then Rus has ramped up his campaign to have the tolls to their home removed by engineering a billboard campaign to bring attention to the cause his group is pushing.

For more then 30 years there has been an ongoing dispute between residents of New York State and the New York State Thruway Authority to remove the tolls on the entire road system. New York already receives money from the federal government to maintain this road system, as most of the roads in the NYSTA system are interstate highways.
