Clark County Council unanimously passes no tolls resolution.

Another collection of voices reminds us that regardless of what Kerry Stemler's ego whispers to him, we do, in fact, have a choice.

The council unanimously approved resolution 2-2010 opposing the use of tolls as a source of funding for the Ohio River Bridges Project. The resolution passed, but is not a binding agreement on whether or not the Louisville and Southern Indiana Bridges Authority can impose tolls to help fund the project.

“It’s just basically an opinion or a recommendation by this board,” said Scott Lewis, attorney for the county council.

Paul Fetter — a Jeffersonville businessman who spoke on behalf of approving the anti-tolling resolution — said he plans to present the anti-toll resolution to other governmental municipalities in Indiana that are along the Ohio River. He said similar agreements would be brought to Utica, Clarksville and Jeffersonville — the latter previously denied the resolution — that would be affected by the proposed project.
