Rally Against Toll Hike With Eastern Shore Senator And Delegates

In response to the Maryland Transportation Authority’s proposal to massively increase Maryland’s tolls Americans for Prosperity Maryland is hosting a press conference and rally to opposition to the proposals.

“With Maryland running billion dollar plus yearly deficits and borrowing more money, now is not the time to take more money out of a struggling economy” said Deputy State Director Nick Loffer. “It is bad policy to see unelected, unaccountable bureaucrats pass a major tax hike that will discourage commerce and raise the cost of goods and services for all Marylanders.”

The Eastern Shore, especially Queen Anne’s County, will suffer a negative impact from these toll increases as the Bay Bridge is a major link to the Eastern Shore.

“Raising the cost of travel is never a good idea. Local economies and the tourist industry need every penny in this struggling economy, not a new barrier to keep Maryland’s economy from growing.”
