Great news (links below). It's just a first step, but the unanimous vote is encouraging as the bill moves forward. Our local Reps & Senators have clearly done an excellent job of crafting and promoting legislation that not only eliminates Sakonnet tolls, but addresses a Statewide need.
Sakonnet Tolls are not gone yet. We saw last year how a seemingly done-deal can be undone at the last minute. It's crucial for all who care about eliminating these destructive tolls, and creating a reliable transportation-funding system, to make sure this bill makes it over the finish line.
