"Based on the findings of an audit issued by the comptroller's office, we reject any proposed toll increases. We support the Comptroller's recommendations that the Authority undertake an in-depth review of spending, prioritize its capital budget, and review and justify its borrowing practices," Spitzer said in a statement.
Tolls already went up 10 percent for cash customers this month.
The state Assembly is holding a hearing tomorrow at 10 a.m. in Albany on the toll hikes. [lohudblogs]
