Turnpike Rally

Senate Minority Whip Robert L. Hedlund, of Weymouth, and Senate Asst. Minority Whip Scott Brown, of Wrentham, will be among the featured speakers at tomorrow’s “Stop the Pike Hike” rally in East Boston. The event is being organized by citizens upset with the massive toll hikes being proposed by the Massachusetts Turnpike Authority. Under the proposed hikes, it would cost drivers $7 to use the airport tunnels, and $2 to drive from Allston-Brighton into Boston.

“These hikes are the result of decades of fiscal mismanagement by the Turnpike Authority,” Sen. Hedlund said.  “We should not be talking about toll hikes without first taking a hard look at long-needed reforms,” Sen. Brown added.

The rally is scheduled to start at 4 p.m. at the Ecco Restaurant & Martini Bar, located at 107 Porter Street, East Boston.
