State Sen. Christopher J. Connors, Assemblyman Brian E. Rumpf and Assemblywoman DiAnne C. Gove are calling on Trenton to end automatic toll hikes, declaring commuters and businesses cannot afford the increases.

The 9th District delegation’s comments are in response to the announcement that tolls on the Garden State Parkway, the Atlantic City Expressway and the New Jersey Turnpike will go up by about 3% on Jan. 1.
