The Assembly seems poised to delay resolution of the bridge toll issue from the current fast approaching deadline of April 1 to at least May 15. The delay would come despite warnings from the Rhode Island Turnpike and Bridge Authority that further delay will negatively affect their bond financing.
The Assembly must come up with a plan for financing construction and maintenance of roads and bridges throughout the state. NFIB supports a transportation plan that will treat each area of the state fairly while encouraging and supporting economic growth.
