Social
media was abuzz this morning with rumors that Transportation Minister
Claude Williams had said there was a possibility of re-instating the
toll on the Harbour Bridge.
The
comments were made to the media yesterday. According the Honorable
Dorothy Shepherd, the rumor was the result of a miscommunication when
the Minister was talking about tolls in general.
Shepherd did say
tolls are definitely on the table as an option for generation
revenue--but not on the Harbour Bridge. It was a platform promise of the
Tories to remove the toll, which was widely believed to unfairly
penalize locals.
