Great job by Jim and so many others. Proves that when the people speak loud enough their representative's actually do what they are required to do (The peoples will).

What happened here in my opinion was once they saw the number of voters involved it scared the hell out of them. All that matters in this State is getting re-elected.

I am sure many politicians will try to take all the credit for it (though they are only doing what they are told to do). Bottom line is the people have won not the politicians and special interest that were pushing this Toll.

A lifelong Portsmouth resident, Jim graduated from Portsmouth High School in 1982 and earned a journalism degree from the University of Rhode Island in 1986. He's worked two different stints at East Bay Newspapers, for a total of 18 years with the company so far. When not running all over town bringing you the news from Portsmouth, Jim listens to lots and lots and lots of music, watches obscure silent films from the '20s and usually has three books going at once. He also loves to cook crazy New Orleans dishes for his wife of 25 years, Michelle, and their two sons, Jake and Max.
