Statement by Senate Majority Leader Dean Skelos on Thruway Tolls
Dean G. Skelos
December 17, 2012
I commend Governor Cuomo for taking action to prevent a 45 percent toll hike on trucks that use the New York State Thruway. This massive proposed increase, which was opposed by Senate Republicans, would have negatively impacted small businesses throughout New York and hurt our efforts to grow the economy.
If we are going to continue the progress we’ve made over the last two years, we’ll need to do it without raising taxes and fees, or increasing the cost of doing business. This is great news for businesses and taxpayers.
