Bridge tolls go up tomorrow

Post by PeteD »

Single axle trailer = $13.00
Tandem axle = $18.00
Just in time for the Holiday.

and none of of it will go to bridge maintenance or roads.

Or just the trailer?

The toll is only for the axles that are in contact with the road

this is just a delayed increase from when autos went up to $5. At that time, they delayed the hit to recreationalists and truckers, but now the delay is over. so, this is not something new cooked up.

still s*cks............... :evil:

I guess this will be on the new bridge too that is mostly being built in China. No wonder there are no jobs.

So they build these bridges with our tax dollars and then charge us to cross them. They have a monopoly on bridge ownership and by law they should be busted up and sold to private hands for competition purposes.

If the additional funding raised doesn’t go into bridge maintenance or the roads, do you know where the funds go?

For basically a twenty spot to get over the bridge I will drive around.that is absolute highway robbery.its to bad bridges and the money associated with them are not open book.I think you would find they are paid for many times over again and the maintenance required wouldn't cost a fraction.most bridges in california are built with a 50 yr Life spec any way so its about as bad as the oil companies and pure profit.

The last time I went across the Antioch bridge, the lady said that it's going to cost me $14.75 for my truck and boat.

I feel for you people. I just read that the idiots that run your state are buying all of the parts for the Bay Bridge from China. They quoted one worker that said he was making $9 a DAY but they were paying him $12 per DAY for the bridge work. It is a crane company in China that never built a bridge. Obama can spend $830 billion to create a handful of jobs but your state will pay our tax dollars to China and give up thousands of jobs. You need to git a rope and head for the Capital.

Amen.
And if they can't do their job in four years, FOUR F'ing YEARS, they should be fired.
If any of us took four years to do anything, we would be fired.
They all spend their time kissing wealthy butt to get reelected, instead of doing what we elected them to do in the first place, which is to make our State run better for us, their employers, not the Chinese.
Funny how the politicians always say the right things when they're running to get us to vote for them, and then do the wrong thing once they get the job. Hahaha :evil:

Next year the State of California will see millions more in revenue as a result of this increase.
-Guess what?
The State of California will STILL be broke, and will increase the Toll Fees again.

The State of California will STILL be broke after the 2nd increase...................................

The Democrat's just don't get it! and California voters continue to elect the same morons into office.

That's hysterical Popper and Mark...

Newsflash... It was Republicans that got us in this mess....

So I take it you guys want to put the republicants back in charge so we can see what anarchy and becoming a third world country feels like? Yeah... Great idea... (Thank God we didn't Get McCain and Palin or we would be there already.)

How bout you guys try a little bit of dat der edumacation and see if'n yah can't git er right in yer heads... As Martha Stewart would say, It's a good thing...

As I wrote very clearly: Democrat's don't get it...........

We are talking about excess bridge tolls, and Democrat's who are re-elected have controlled the State Government of California for years..............
-FACT-
Where McCain and Palin fall into this picture is beyond me. Last time I look the Presidential elections were over 2.5 years ago. And they have nothing to do with the bridge tolls, and the idiotic mess of massive debts accumulated over the years by Democratic morons in Sacramento.

This is so typical............

Your are absolutely correct about the political forum Pete, and I usually refrain from political talk on a fishing forum...I hope Byron knows there is a political forum too since he started naming parties...

Both Democrats and Republicans pledge to give you something for your vote and support for they can get into power. But every time they give you something someone else has to pay for it.

Both taxed the gas you use and told you that it is for the development and to maintain the highway we use but they use the money to pay for their votes on other things to pay off those that vote for them and support them.

Do you really wonder why the toll has gone up? Who are they paying off?

We as citizens have to take the money out of running for office
