NO TOLL ON THE SAKONNET RIVER BRIDGE

Please help stop the toll. If we don't unite now, it will be in your neighborhood next. Please email your rep and senator and ask them to support Rep. Edwards' bill to repeal the toll.

A toll on the Sakonnet River Bridge is wrong for Rhode Island.

No matter what part of the state you live in, please contact your rep and let him or her know what a devastating effect tolls is going to have on the entire Rhode Island economy. Remind them that our friends from Massachusetts will not pay a ridiculous toll to patronize our businesses including everything from our mom and pop shops to Newport Grand. The state of Rhode Island is going to feel a significant revenue loss by giving this bridge away to RITBA.

The entire state is going to feel the brunt of this, not to mention all the folks who have to commute over this bridge for work, school or seek medical care. There are a million good reasons why this transfer should be repealed. Let your voice be heard now throughout the state. 

WE MUST REPEAL THE TRANSFER OF THIS BRIDGE TO THE RITBA. 

Here is a link to all your State Reps. You can email, write, or call them.
