Don't I know it. Driving home to PA yesterday, I got off 95 to avoid the $8 toll for the Tydings Bridge...and paid $6 for the Hatem Bridge. Governmental greed is a million times worse than "corporate greed" because you can't avoid government.
The thing about the Beltway is....ANYWHERE ELSE THEY WOULD BE PUSHING SOME NEW "LIGHT RAIL" SCHEME. But here, in DC, is where the bureaucrats work...and they MUST be allowed to drive to work, unlike the peasants in the rest of the country.
Isn’t that the truth. Here in SE VA, they are not only pushing the light rail scheme at all cost, but governor McTollbooth is erecting tolls all over the state except North of Fredericksburg where the bureaucrats in Northern Virginia will continue to skate free at the expense of everyone else. He already has 2 tolls going up in Norfolk on existing free roads and he is scheming to toll all the bridges and tunnels in the area and all the interstates from the NC border to Fredericksburg.
