GRAND ISLAND ACTIVIST RUS THOMPSON CONFRONTS GOVERNO ON GI TOLLS….CALLS ON LEGISLATORS TO PASS BILL NIXING TOLLS THIS YEAR…WILL PATERSON KEEP HIS PROMISE TO THOMPSON OR NOT?
For veteran anti-Grand Island tolls activist Rus Thompson it began with a call from local TV reporter Jackie Walker. Governor Paterson was coming to Niagara Falls and would be taking questions from real people, not just reporters. If he came, there was a good chance he could get on the list.
“I immediately told her I would come,” Thompson recalls. “As it turned out, I got on the list. I wanted to ask Paterson if he would sign a bill that would eliminate the Grand Island tolls.”
Why have the GI tolls become such a major preoccupation for Thompson?
