Albany -- The price for hundreds of state tourism signs erected along major New York highways and deemed federally illegal — the source of a years-long Washington-Albany kerfuffle — was $8.1 million, state transportation officials said Wednesday.
DOT Commissioner Matthew Driscoll said during a joint legislative budget hearing on transportation that the total cost for 374 of the I Love NY signs was $5.4 million.

That makes the total cost of all 514 signs statewide $8.1 million.
