Miami Herald reports, “A Miami Republican state representative seeking to be promoted to the Florida Senate this fall says he’s ‘taking a stand against tolls’ — tapping into a popular consumer issue that puts him at odds with some in his own party. Frank Artiles, who’s running against incumbent Democratic Sen. Dwight Bullard in Miami-Dade’s District 40, says he wants to fight back against ‘excessive and abusive tolls’ that South Florida commuters face. . . .” The report adds that Bullard has his own plans for reducing Miami-Dade commuters’ toll bills.
