That is exactly what I am oppossed to. Pass a bond issue and decide to build a new road, toll or not, that's cool. But when these unelected committees can decide to widen existing road and make it toll, that's not right. With the law of emminent domain where the state can take anyone's property if it will generate more tax revenue, the courts have taken our privilages away.
How ever you vote, just remember to vote!

Hey at least you are using it! My buddy in TX has a Ranger and he says that he feels like a go cart amongst the big boys...

I passed a jacked up F350 on the highway the other day. I don't know how much lift it had, but the tires had to be 40-something" tall. As I passed it in my Charger, I was lookin at the rocker pannels...

Ct had one toll road a few years back. On 395 near Montville. For years people complained it was dangerous and unessassry. But the State dot was too much in love with the revenue. Until a tractor trailer either lost his brakes or the driver fell asleep i can't remember which. And plowed into the line of waiting cars,Killing a bunch of people.
Thats when the state decided to take the toll booths down.
Now there are some a$$holes in the state ledgeslature that want to reinstall the toll booths.And make um "safe".
Seems our "leaders" have short memories.

I dont know what the logic is in them wanting to put them back.Other than to bilk a few more pennies out of the motoring public.Could be that they are looking at it as a way to get a peice of the casino action...shaking down people going to and from.
