Unions Packing Port Authority Toll Hike Hearings
I suppose it should be no surprise that unions are sending their members to the Port Authority toll hike hearings to make emotional appeals to raise the tolls on non-union commuters.

InTheLobby reports that fear of a credit downgrade might be what is really behind the push for the toll and fare hikes.
If you’re not attending the online hearing this afternoon between 5 and 6, tune into the LaRossa and Gallagher Radio Show with special guest Bob Ingle, on WIFI 1460 AM or here.

Christie already has his VETO pen ready …
