When we were told that tolls were being raised this year we all were under the impression that it was for 10% at least that is what the Thruway Authority told us. Well lo and behold the Grand Island bridge tolls went from 75 cents to a dollar. That is a far cry from 10%, that is a 33.3% increase in tolls. Two years ago the tolls at the bridges were raised from .50 cents to .75 cents. That is a 100% toll increase in two years.

Next year our tolls are going up a supposed 5% and then again 5% the year after. If history is to repeat itself we will be hit with another .25 cents next year and .25 cents the year after to $1.50 for one trip across the bridge. And according to a statement by Betsy Grahm it has always been their policy to raise tolls at bridges a quarter? Well that’s news to me and I am sure it will be news to every other toll payer across this area that are forced to pay to go over the Grand Island Bridges.

I am incensed.
