To all who oppose the proposed toll on the Sakonnet River Bridge:  the RI Senate has scheduled a hearing to consider Senator Felag’s bill, Senate Bill 20, which asks to repeal Article 20 of last years’ budget and Senate Bill 242 submitted by Senator DiPalma offering very intelligent and reasonable alternatives for bridge maintenance plans.

It is imperative that we attend in numbers and in force to communicate to the legislators why the toll would be economically devastating to the area economy, businesses, families and individuals.

 

Please do all that you can to attend and testify to the Senate Finance Committee.
