I assume you live upstate New York and I live and grew up on Long Island, but lived just outside Rochester. You are quite familiar with the NYS Thruway. The tolls are still there right? Wasn't the Thruway paid for already? Why is the thruway a federal interstate highway receiving federal funds? I have seen taxes implemented for good causes that were supposedly just temporary, but they were made permanent. The revenue collected from the tolls on the bridges and tunnels around New York City are treated and considered as a general tax.
You may not agree with all of the contributors of content to "World Net Daily" that does not justify your shot however. That is even especially important since a major contributor is Dr. Jerome Corsi.
My warning is that each issue may seem isolated, but that is rather rare. In my opinion Long Island is hopeless now after dying a death of a thousand cuts. Will the whipping boy be allowed to turn towards the rest of New York State?
In 1996 the tolls were supposed to be removed off the thruway across NYState, at that point the legislature in dysfunctional Albany voted to keep them and it turned completely political. It was done of course to continue raping the taxpayers and continue to provide jobs for the union state employees, they get pensions and healthcare for life.
Their pension money goes into the huge pension fund we pay for. The same fund that lost millions of dollars in the stock market that we had to pay for yet again with increased taxes.
There is no temporary taxes in NY. They are addicted to the money, they will continue to spend all of it using our tax dollars to buy votes and influence in this state. Spitzer is in bed with all of them too. He and his liberal policies will continue to drive this state into bankruptcy.

I have run for office 3 different times and each time my own party, the republicans have fought to keep me out. Corruption is rampant in this state and I invite the feds to come in.
I co-founded http://www.freebuffalo.org/ ~ http://www.primarychallenge.org/ and helped lead the tax revolt we have started here in WNY. We have just now expanded to the edge of Niagara County near Rochestor.
We either fight, leave or die...
