ReplyThe House Finance Committee hearing on a number of bills to stop the toll will be on Thursday, April 25th at 1 pm in Room 35 of the State Capital.
The PBA asks all who are opposed to the toll to make the effort to attend. We encourage all to testify that a toll does not make economic sense at any level: individual, small business, region or state.

ReplyTom: Bankrate.com shows 51.4 cents per gallon in RI. 18.4 cents Federal and 33 cents state. http://www.bankrate.com/finance/taxes/gas-taxes-by-state.aspx
Go to this link for the state breakdown: http://www.dot.state.ri.us/documents/tolling/SRB_December_2012_Workshops_RIDOT.pdf page 6 has the best table of info.
Of the state 33 cents, RIDOT gets 19.75 cents. The rest goes to RIPTA, Garvee, DHS and underground storage.

John: We are aware of those numbers and more. The info is posted on various links on their website. In our strategy sessions, we felt that this operation could use a good, independent forensic audit. And perhaps audits on the amounts they are getting quoted for repair work. Also, that is why we are suggesting some ideas to incorporate business best practices into the mix to reduce unnecessary spending.
