Ensure Toll Equity is Enforced
Dear Toll Payer,
We need your immediate help to ensure the new Toll Equity law is enforced. Please see today’s MetroWest Daily news:
Victory For Toll Payers by Rick Holmes
As the Column by Rick Holmes makes clear, we achieved an outstanding victory when the Governor signed the Toll Equity provision of the new Transportation Reform Bill into law last week. But as the article also makes clear, we must now fight just as hard to make sure our leaders follow the law we worked so hard to pass.
We need you to call your state representative and state senator first thing Monday morning and request that they ask transportation secretary Aloisi:
- Will the Turnpike Authority and the Transportation Secretary honor and enforce the Toll Equity provision of the transportation bill that is now the law of the land?
- Will the Turnpike Authority stop using turnpike toll dollars to pay the multi-billion dollar “Big Dig” debt that was used to build the non-tolled Central Artery that millions use free of charge?
We need to get a response in writing from your representatives so that we can document the intentions of the Transportation Secretary and the Turnpike Authority. If we can’t get assurances that the Turnpike Authority and the Secretary intend to stop the unconstitutional diversion of our toll dollars to pay the “Big Dig” debt then we will immediately go into Court for an order enforcing the Toll Equity law.
Please call and email your representatives Monday morning and return your responses to us as soon as possible.
Because Toll Payers took action—Toll Equity is the law. Now we must act again. Together we can ensure Toll Equity is the law our leaders obey!
Warmest Regards,
Sandy, Doug, Bob & Joel
