What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Mayor Christopher Girard is opposing a proposed toll increase for the Liberty and Independence bridges in Bay City. Girard stated that Bay City Bridge Partners did not consult the city regarding the hike and is requesting that the state attorney general investigate the group. The proposed increase would raise tolls by 50 cents for transponders and increase plate rates from $5.50 to $7.50.
