    Cuomo and the Thruway Tolls

    Governor Cuomo is trying to pull the wool over the Taxpayers of this state with his no new tolls on the Thruway idea.
    He is passing the cost of operating the Thruway from the users of the Thruway to the Taxpayers of this state with this idea.
    Let the users of the Thruway pay the total cost of operating the Thruway including the Tappan Bridge construction and the addition (how this got added is beyond me) of the New York Barge Canal System.

    Keep the cost of operating the Thruway to the users and not the taxpayers.
    The New York Thruway should be free as promised when the Bond for building the system was paid off a long time ago.

    How would it be paid for if the tolls were removed years ago? If no tolls then taxpayers will foot the bill one way or another

    Well you would eliminate all the toll collectors and the support group for that. I bet there are a few layers right there that could be eliminated.

    The Thruway should of been free when the bonds were paid off. Other states have stopped collecting tolls.
    New York State keep the tolls so it could control who works for the Authority.
