They have been doing this for over a decade already

No one would be using E-Z pass if they started mailing speeding tickets to you.
The law that allows E-Z Pass specfically precludes their data being used for speed enforcement.

Is this Mangano or Bellone? Brilliant! Tax cap at 2% so add tolls! That'll teach those cheap taxpayers! And don't use the toll money for roads...use it for pension obligations and contractual raises! LI math.

"Better off"?! Exactly how or why? Like families and businesses aren't fleeing fast enough, let's add tolls!

Do you mean Port Authority? NYS has it written that e-z pass cant be used for speeding and so does NJ.
