I have been asked to testify to the Assembly Conference Wednesday concerning the tolls in WNY and specifically the Grand Island Bridge tolls. I don’t know how long I will have to speak but I could go on for hours. I will at first give them a brief history over the 72 years the people have been paying for these bridges, when the thruway authority took them over and reasons why they need to be eliminated.
