Tolls are never a good idea.

“Tolls are never a good idea.”

Outgoing NC Governor McCrory (R) may be realizing this. His Rte. 77 toll road plan (Charlotte) was predicted to result in his defeat even before the bathroom bill became an issue. NC contracted with Cintra, same company McAwful got for the NoVA job. Cintra is a division of Ferrovial, headquartered in Madrid, Spain. Former Indiana Governor Mitch Daniel contracted with same for the Indiana toll road. Result was bankruptcy. Current contract appears to be jointly with an Australian firm and
Ferrovial. In any case, profits go to other countries.
