I got this in my email today:
For Immediate Release
Rus Thompson of noGItolls.com has been asked to testify to the Assembly Conference on tolls this Wednesday December 5th at the Assembly Public Hearing to be held at the Mahoney State Office Bldg at 10 AM .
Rus will testify concerning the tolls in WNY, the proposed toll increase and specifically the Grand Island Bridge tolls.
Rus will first give a brief history concerning 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.
With the recent revelation that Governor Spitzer will take the surplus from the Thruway Authority to help fill the $4 Billion dollar hole in the States budget and Governor Spitzer’s refusal to allow a toll increase in New York City, this Public hearing and Rus Thompson’s testimony against tolls is sure to be compelling and will hopefully open Western New Yorkers eyes to the extreme injustice we face here and the influence down state has over Albany and the governors office.
