Lower tolls for lincoln tunnel

Lower tolls for lincoln tunnel

The Issue

The tolls just keep going up...when it was about $8.75 years ago at the lincoln tunnel,  it was reasonable for people to pay....everything goes up every year..but it puts a big toll on people because we don't get raises to keep up with the raising of prices , especially the tolls..the toll is another monthly bill on people...it really puts a hurting in our pockets...that is the reason why people don't want to travel because , the tolls people pay ,is when they go to work ...so going out to have family time and travel sometimes is not an option..gas is high and toll is high which makes people think twice before actually going out to have a good time...it's ridiculously high..a lot of people struggle everyday to pay Bill's especially when they are on a budget and barely making ends meet. Leisure time, has it's  limits to a lot of people because the toll is ridiculously high..We can't keep up with Bill's because once we are on a budget to try to make what we have already work, it throws us back to a struggle again, because now we have to look for ways to cut so much more to try to make ends meet , and try to hide face from our kids because we're struggling again but don't want them to see or worry because that should not be something they should be worrying  about. I know I'm not the only person out there who's feeling this way, there are definitely a lot of people that I know would agree with me...We have to add money to our E-Zpass  bill every two weeks because we can't afford to do it on a monthly basis..Rent goes up, gas goes up, electricity go up, tolls go up, then there is college money that kids need to buy all the college necessities,  that doesn't include that many of us have to make payment plans monthly because , they have a criteria that you need to meet, and if you don't, you have to pay monthly installments to college...we don't get a break..We sure need a break..It would work out for many people if they lowered the TOLL so people could live again...They need to lower the tolls on the lincoln tunnel as well as George Washington bridge...
