STOPTHETOLLS.org

STOPTHETOLLS.org is a group of citizens who fought for years to stop the unfair tolls on the Crescent City Connection bridge in New Orleans. The tolls on the CCC were defeated permanently after the election on May 4, 2013.

patrickconnicksenate Re-elect Senator Patrick Connick because he stood up for the people of the Westbank and led the 5 year fight against the tolls on the CCC. We honor you and your service.

Thank you Senator Patrick Connick honor for accomplishing the greatest civic act ever done for the Westbank, saving the people of the Westbank more than $220 Million dollars in (bridge) taxes since toll collection was stopped in 2013.
