			<description><![CDATA[We've vacationed the last two years on Gasparilla Island. The first year we were there in July and the next in August. We are planning to come down this year, hopefully in June. While I understand the need to raise the needed revenue for the bridge construction, raising the rate too high might change my mind on coming back. Six dollars represents a 50% increase in two years. While we absolutely love your Island and Boca Grande, there are many places in Florida where you don't have to pay a toll to get to your rental. If the toll were too high, it would make visitors feel like they were imprisoned. It's the little things, like going to get some bait that make the toll really bothersome.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I am so glad they are raising the toll. Now my wife will not want to come across the bridge to shop or eat at the restaurants in Boca Grande. Let the rich have their island. If I want to go to Boca I will do so in my boat and beach it and enjoy the water. Thankfully in Florida they only own above the high tide point.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Quote /So we should disadvantage the workers?” Holmberg asked. He then brought up the Wilbur-Smith study in which it was determined that an impact to visitor traffic would not be noticeable until the toll was at approximately $10/ Unquote Mr. Holmberg probably missed my comment to "Skip Russo's" question: "Skip Russo, 2012-01-13 13:29. At what price point will there be resistance to visitors coming to the island?" My comment: "2012-01-19 18:37. 10 US$ and higher".]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA["Subsidizing Hell’s Angels to use the bridge.” What a wonderful way to characterize visitors to Boca Grande who keep our island businesses in business. “They don’t come across that bridge to buy anything.” Just a bunch of beer-swilling cone lickers. Maybe these comments should be included in the WRTT brochure and on the Chamber website.]]></description>
