Gots to do something with those gas tax dollars being wasted on highways.

Just expect there to be a real reasoned presentation made to make more highways in the area toll roads.

Tax dollars from gasoline don’t go as far as they used to when we were only spending them on highways. Can’t figure out why...

The Connecticut Turnpike was de-tolled in 1985 or thereabouts. They keep debating whether or not to re-toll that road. I’d prefer a toll road to be in private hands, and frankly, I don’t like the notion of gas taxes; it was the restart of big government expansion post-WWII.

The MTA owns toll bridges and toll tunnels around Manhattan, too. Sounds almost like a conflict of interest to me.
