What idiots.

Well, at least one person is learning something in college.

Apparently, the senator doesn't know the difference between the free market and socialism.

Ouch. That has got to hurt. Is the Romer in this story related to Roy?

There is a good reason that toll roads are not the norm. The money that could be spent in the destination city goes into tolls and it is a lot of money. Huge amounts.

Which is why toll road fees, a new tax, are a bad idea.

There is already a market incentive for people to travel tot he slopes at off times, the traffic delays at peak times.

The ski resorts already bring in a fortune in sales taxes that could be used for infrastructure improvements in the area.

This is just another liberal excuse to add more taxes.

In my very limited experience the drive down from the slopes around when the lifts closed down for the day was far worse than the drive up to the slopes, so they really aren't even trying to address the worst part of the traffic congestion problem. They are just taxing the skiing industry even more than it is now.

What ever funds a state collects from tolls should be deducted from the cost of license plates so the state breaks even on the deal.
