Well, too bad the "citizen" such as you was legally represented by "a union", in the form of the AAA, who is the one that sued the Port Authority - on driver's behalf - to question the purpose for the raise in tolls last year. Screw those unions and class actions! Oh, wait ....

So your toll increases are on hold, and nothing has been said publicly about what the money is being used for, since the PA denied that tolls would go to Ground Zero renovation (the reason they were to be raised and given in the first place).

So ... what are we bashing again? Oh, yeah! One guy who made over $100,000 K by working 60 hours a week! Oh, the horror! And it's all due to UNIONS!

The tolls have been raised. AAA is a union now?

The real question is if relatively worthless toll takers are making money far beyond what their job description entails than what other financial abnormalaties exist in the Port Authority.

Only the truly biased believe that toll takers and gardners making 80k a year is cool when the city is cutting services and the damn roads are falling apart.

You pay AAA membership dues? Or are you freeloading off the coattails of the lawsuit they filed on behalf of all citizens?

Ooooooh. So it has nothing to do with EVIL UNIONS! , and you have switched to just accusing them of graft?

Only the truly crazy - or intensely gullible - are blaming toll takers and gardeners for the city not having enough money to pay their bills.

So any organization that you pay dues to is now a union? Are the Cub Scouts a union as well?

Only a person with limited intellegence would believe that toll takers and gardners are the only vastly overpaid workers in the NYC system (virtually all union workers). Just the latest tip of a sinking iceberg.

Like I said do a quick review of the NYC OTB situation to see what happens when union and politicians get together with no oversight.

^^^ runs out of facts, resorts to making personal insults and ad hominem attacks.
