Suit filed to block bridge toll hikes on three bridges
A taxpayer group, Committee Against the Totl Tax, sued in Alameda County Superior Court to stop July 1 toll increases on three bridges. They argue funds will fund rapid transit, not bridge upkeep, and that the Metropolitan Transportation Commission lacks elected authority to levy taxes. A hearing on a temporary injunction was scheduled before Judge Harold B. Howe. Morgan D. King of San Leandro represents the group.
