His congressional website and campaign website both explain the safety issues of the Skyway... So obviously he thinks it's dangerous. I guess our safety isn't a big priority for him.

While there is a lot of public misconception about the Skyway (it's dangerous, it's frequently closed, nobody uses it) the facts are that it is useful, it's direct, and it relieves traffic from the mainline thruway. I drove it nearly every day for five years and found it to be one of the easiest roads in the area to drive on.
