People are whipped up about tolls, but comparatively quiet about hurdles the government just cleared on its way to building a new Tappan Zee Bridge.
How much money collected by the Tappan Zee Bridge over the past 25 years (or since it opened) has been used elsewhere?

Reimburse all those collections (plus interest) and then see how much the Tappan Zee Bridge tolls will need to go up to fund the new bridge.”
