DAY 95: GOVERNOR CORZINE, SENATOR WEINBERG, ASSEMBLY MEMBERS JOHNSON AND HUTTLE SUPPORT TOLL HIKES ON NEW JERSEY DRIVERS.
By Wojciech SiemaszkiewiczWHERE IS GOVERNOR CORZINE, SENATOR WEINBERG, DISTRICT 37 ASSEMBLY MEMBERS JOHNSON AND HUTTLE ON MTA (TUNNEL AND BRIDGE) INCREASES?
No action – Toll Hikes took effect on July 12.
When we first called the Governor’s office, he was unaware of this issue!
When we confronted Assemblyman Johnson he wore a sympathetic expression on his face for a few minutes but did not say he would help.
Assemblywomen Huttle and Senator Weinberg are nowhere to be found and silent on the matter!
Starting July 12, the MTA increased tolls on its Bridge & Tunnel crossings, the E-ZPass discount traditionally set aside for ALL E-ZPass users, will only apply to drivers who enrolled in the program through the E-ZPass NY Service Center. Those not enrolled through NY will be charged the same price as drivers who pay cash to use the seven bridges and two tunnels.
Here are two examples of the discrimination to NJ residents - E-ZPass cars were being charged $4.15 on major crossings like the Throgs Neck Bridge or Robert F. Kennedy Bridge. Drivers using cash were charged $5.00. As of the 12th, cars registered through the NY Service Center will pay $4.57, while cars that have E-ZPass through another agency, such as NJ E-Zpass or the NJ Turnpike Authority, will pay $5.50 - the same price that will be charged to those using cash.
Note: E-ZPass rates apply to New York E-ZPass Customer Service Center customers only. Non-NYCSC customers will pay the cash rates. (For more information, visit the MTA)
We are demanding action from Governor Corzine, Senator Weinberg, Assembly members Johnson and Huttle to help protect the residents of District 37 and all of New Jersey.
It came to our attention that drivers who use E-ZPass through the Port Authority and the New Jersey Turnpike Authority are charged a $1 monthly fee while account-holders of the New York Bridge and Tunnel Authority are not charged.
I am proposing to the NJ State Legislature that they offer a discount to NJ E-ZPass subscribers while making non-NJ subscribers pay a higher, cash price on The Turnpike, Garden State Parkway and other crossings into New Jersey.
This increase for non NJ E-ZPass subscribers would be in effect until New York MTA revokes its discriminatory charges against New Jersey drivers.

Say no to Christie and Corzine. Vote Daggett
Don't by that GOP non-sense that Daggett is a plant funded by Corzine.
Fact is Daggett has no funds at all.
Futhermore, Chris Daggett nailed Christie and Corzine for corruption in 3rd Debate
You really have to hand it to Chris Daggett. Not only did he stand toe to toe with Jon Corzine and Chris Christie he really nailed it to them in the 3rd NJ Gubernatorial Debate. Once again, for the third time in a row, I give this as a notch for Daggett.
Chris Daggett handed it to both Christie and Corzine for corruption saying to fight corruption you need to lead by example.
Daggett then cited specific corrupt activities that Christie and Corzine had engaged in, including illegal campaign finance and pay to play, and neither Corzine or Christie could defend themselves.
Instead, Corzine acknowledges that activity is going on and agrees with Daggett that it needs to stop.
