'On February 23 Dunfermline East Labour MSP Helen Eadie told The Courier, "My position is very clear. It is logical that if there is a policy to remove tolls on some bridges, they should be removed on all. It is crass in the extreme to make some of the most disadvantaged people in the country pay tolls."
Yesterday she voted to keep the tolls on the Tay.'
