Letter: Let those who use new Richland bridge pay for it

I have a wonderful idea for Richland City Council and the mayor. Let those who use the bridge pay for it. Works for the new Tacoma Narrows bridge, why not here?

I personally am not in favor of the bridge, I think the money would be better spent fixing the I-182 and Queensgate interchange. By using tolls, the bridge could get paid for by those using it and we would not have a $20 excessive tax put on us per vehicle for 20 years.
