Thank you Governor Hogan, thank you!!

Shame on Norm Conway for sponsoring and voting on bridge toll increases!

Now lets get the toll back down to $2.50.

Thank goodness. Six dollars is a little ignorant to charge.

Atta boy Hogan!!! This guy is the only chance we have a brighter future in Maryland! Hasn't even been in office for a year and there has already been a considerable amount of positive change and a move to a more positive overall outlook in Maryland. Keep it up!!!

I sent them an email when they raised bay bridge toll the last time. He told me they had to because it costs so much money nowadays to maintain the bridge. He told me it costs more to paint the bridge now than it did to build the bridge.

That was a bs reason then, and it is still a bs reason now.

Cost me $28 to pull my travel trailer over the bay bridge. And they wonder why tourism numbers are down. I'm ok with a toll but I want to drive on the bridge, not buy it.

The governor must have seen the revenue vs expenditure reports.....and actually read them!

Thank you governor Hogan! I have been paying the 1.50 maintenance fee each month since O'Malley passed this three years ago. It is an unfair charge to pay to have an easy pass. I am grateful for the toll reduction and not having to pay a dollar fifty each month when I am not using it!!!
