Better Late Than Never . . .

Griffo: Stop Thruway toll increase.

Calling on the Governor to stop the increase is a step in the right direction. But how about supporting Mr. Valesky's proposed legislation that will require the Thruway Authority to get legislative approval before any increases?

Is it too much to ask that you cooperate with the other party to accomplish something for your constituents?

"Thank yous" will be reserved pending success.

Joe can only support legislation if Bruno says he can. Griffo has had a barren year and by next year he will be looking for somebody to write fiction for him for his next campaign. We picked another spineless robot senator to replace the last one.

If Joe really wanted to make some headway for CNY, he would be advocating a reduction in Thruway tolls, not a freeze. Force the T-way Authority into cost reductions.

I agree! But why stop at toll reduction? How about elimination of the toll -- and the Thruway Authority -- all together?

NY collects plenty in gas tax -- more than most other states. If the other states can afford to maintain their interstate highways using their gas taxes, why can't NYS?
