RPG Bridge Repair Summary

It's A Toll-A-Palooza!

Trucks Today - Cars Tomorrow?

Picture
As the Rhode Island General Assembly prepares for the 2016 Legislative Session ... Mixing Martini's ... Preparing "Pauly Walnuts" favorite tangy shrimp cocktail dip (Folks, its all about the horseradish!) We get ready ... And it's gonna be All Tolls, All The Time ...

Representative Patricia Morgan joined us by phone .. expressing her frustration at the (lack of) transparency, as well as the extreme leverage underlying Guv-nah Ray-Mun-Dee's (dare we dignify her proposal with the term) plan.

Joining The Coalition In Studio ...

Let's make sure the only toll gantry is right out side the new ProvSox Stadium being built! (And perhaps right out side a certain Park Avenue Cranston Law Office?)

                                                                                 RPG Bridge Repair Plan Summary

The Republican Policy Group Plan is a ten year commitment to repair our deficient bridges.

It contains no new revenue: no tolls, no new taxes, no new fees It provides more money for repair and replacement than the Governor's Borrowing/Tolling proposal

It requires a long term commitment from the General Assembly that prioritizes bridge infrastructure. In conversations last spring with RIDOT Director Peter Alviti, he stressed the safety issues surrounding our deficient bridges. He expressed serious concern that travelers will be severely hurt if action is not taken soon. We concur. This plan provides funds more quickly than borrowing & tolling and is cheaper overall.

Advantages:
 Uses Current Revenue
 No Bond Attorney and Underwriting Fees
 No Hefty Interest Charges
 No Expensive Gantry Installations or Maintenance
 No Credit Card Fees for Transponders
 No Increase in Consumer Prices to pay for higher shipping costs
 No Loss of Competiveness for our Small Businesses due to higher costs of raw materials and shipping finished goods
 No Harm to our Trucking industry, their ability to retain and attract customers
 No Loss of Gas Tax Revenue as Trucks Divert Travel around RI
​ No Moral Jeopardy for the State's residents from the temptation of easy​ revenue from higher, broader tolls
