Yep, this is simply a State implementing a toll bridge tax and they have every right to do it.

No, they don't have the right to set up tolls when there's no alternate toll-free route.

Bridge and tunnel tolls are different because there was no route prior to them being built. To arbitrarily charge tolls to drive on a city street with no alternate routes is a restriction of movement.

To tax taxpayer money to pay for that street and then charge a toll is a whole other level of theft.

Wanna quote that some place in the law? Making crap up doesn’t work for me.

Don’t go believing everything you think.

What? Every bridge and tunnel into NYC is tolled there is no free alternative. As are interstates in the North East interstates built with and maintained with Federal money and tolled by the states. DFW tolls the inside lanes of Ih35 and is adding toll lanes to 75 taking over two existing free lanes just like they did on 35 both 100% paid for by taxpayers. You are dead wrong you ,1 have to have a free alternative no you don’t, and two there are many MANY places that toll tax funded and paid off roads. It’s the states that toll them not the feds and it is a states right to toll them if they want too.

Flat out NYS wins this stupid pandering EO, if not then the other 49 states all lose rights and cutting off your nose in spite of your face is monumentally dumb. If you are a NYS citizen and ONLY a NYS then vote for representatives that will.change the law your governor signed. It’s mind blowing the hypocrisy. Like children running to daddy when mommy tells them something they don’t like.
