The plan calls for permanently increasing tolls on every bridge except the Golden Gate from $5 to $8. Legislators are expected to vote on the bill, SB 595, this week. If it passes and the governor signs it, the toll hike will be put before voters in nine Bay Area counties next year.

People actually get to vote on egregious toll hikes??? Never heard of that! Who the fuck is going to vote in favor of that???

That’s not all. The toll hike would be permanent and would increase annually with inflation. It would essentially be on unending auto pilot. There would be no opportunity for voters to weigh in again.

Never underestimate the power of large groups of stupid people.

I have never met the person who thinks toll roads is a great idea. Even liberals I know hate them. They say the exact same thing that I am thinking, which is that all the fucking gas taxes are supposed to pay for this.

The most infuriating thing about this is that BART doesn't fucking serve the Peninsula side of San Mateo and Dumbarton bridges.

The raise taxes brigade that is concentrated there.

This is what happens when you build a new bay bridge rather than retrofit and repair the old one. A complete boondoggle.

Bay Bridge toll increase is a BART scam


If you want a living wage so that everyone in the BA can afford a $1 million condo, you will end up paying more for everything.
Stop complaining.

Liberals will vote for that in heartbeat, just tell them a fairytale about how this all promotes "equality".

Easy. You take from everyone and give it to the public employees so they can be rich just like the rich. That's equality, the California way.

I knew BART was in trouble when I saw the guards operating kiosks that rented automatic weapons on a per diem basis to the muggers.

Could be a passive aggressive way for liberals to keep out the brown and black people.

Keeps the riff raff off of the peninsula.
17   just_passing_through   2017 Sep 12, 7:08pm  

Dammit, rpanic beat me. It's well known that the wealthy on the peninsula want to make it difficult for the East bay folk to come over. More about crime than race though. This is why bart doesn't circle the bay. Was a shit storm just getting it to SFO.
