WRGB reports Thruway Authority head Matthew Driscoll is planning to step down December 20th. His retirement comes as a proposal to increase tolls is on the agenda for a Monday meeting. It includes a 5-percent increase for those with New York EZ pass tags and a steep 75-percent hike for those who don’t. If the board of directors votes to move forward with the proposal, this would formally launch a public process that will include meetings to gather community input and a final report before a final decision is made.
