They need more cash to fund the huge Gay pride parade and festival at the end of June.

The toll money doesn't just go for maintenance of the bridge. It goes to pay the members of the Golden Gate Bridge District,

Aren't there something like 30 of those parasites, at about $150k/year, plus bennies, each?

I won't even guess what the union-thug bridge workers must get paid.

Boo Friggin Hoo. To cross the Verrezano in rush hour is $10, $7 off peak. Its makes sense that the nancy boys who dominate the bay area would complain about a $6 toll.

Fares for the district's ferry and bus operations also are likely to increase.

Cut those perpetual losers loose to sink or swim on their own and the bridge could go back to $3 tolls...

Ahahhaha!!! LOL!!! I guess taxing the hell out of people really does reduce a deficit. I wonder what new spending initiatives they'll introduce with their new fortunes?

Bullseye! You have with sarcasm button down hit these RATs in their feed trough. This is corruption that is so far down the tubes that it has no second thoughts at using a vital transportation route as a device to coerce whatever it takes to fund more of its corruption. These public workers are such despicable mutant life forms, they would steal from their own mothers.
