It may be hard to explain Occupy Wall Street protests against business corruption. But the rally in Port Richmond Saturday made its cause quite clear.

Bridge tolls are too damn high.

Resident gathered to protest the latest rise in tolls on Port Authority crossings, and a petition to halt the inflation has reached more than 1,000 signatures, according to NY1.

With the tolls in and out of Staten Island having reached $12 in cash or $9.50 with E-ZPass during peak hours and $7.50 during non-peak hours, residents are asking for a permanent $4 toll for all residents—no peak or off-peak hours.

Oh, and let’s throw in an investigation into the Port Authority’s bank books – because seriously, what’s going on here?

Protesters at the foot of Bayonne Bridge also told NY1 that it makes less and less sense even to be in Staten Island – especially for a business that has to transport materials back and forth. When they pass on their expenses to clients, they lose any competitive edge.

“The owner told me ‘you’re X amount of dollars off,’ and I said that’s my mobilization charge. I have to pay tolls for my trucks to get to and from the job. I’m $10,000 more than the next bidder. I lost that job because of the built-in overhead,” business owner Steve Margarella told the news service.
