Transportation bond act criticized by AAA
ROCHESTER-AAA of New York State blasts the proposed 3.8 billion transportation bond act as a raw deal for motorists arguing against borrowing for roads bridges and airports while New York drivers pay taxes for transportation. If approved in the November 7 referendum half the money would fund mass transit in the NYC area and the rest roads bridges canals and airports outside the city. ALBANY Five cannonballs illegally removed from Lake Champlain and offered on eBay were recovered officials say. The balls were pictured as Revolutionary War artifacts and the seller withdrew the listing after museum contact. The FBI traced the seller who bought the cannonballs in Pennsylvania unaware of unlawful removal.
