New York's bridges are falling down

New York Lt. Gov. Richard Ravitch has warned that New York's famous bridges are in a precarious situation and the state is in no position to pay for them.

A suggestion is being made that the bridges should be privatized but the unions will not allow it. Then what? Higher tolls?

That is a good question. I would not be surprised if the city decided to privatize everything to save money.
