Maryland “Freak State” PING!

[4yearlurker]

I was living in Savannah Georgia in 1975-76. There was a toll bridge just north of Savannah on I-95. While I was living there the state got rid of the toll and the toll booths because the bridge was paid for! Imagine that happening today.

That’s good news. I guess it’s something that he can do without the legislature’s approval.

Maryland is rolling back tolls? Next you’ll tell me they elected a Republican for Governor.

Love my Gov. He's rockin’ so far.

Every time I go through the toll booth at the Bay Bridge I always ask the toll taker;

“Hasn’t this bridge been paid for already?”

Thanks Tol (we’re on first name basis). A few serious comments:

1) Cutting back (or better yet, eliminating) tolls is both CHEAP and VERY EFFECTIVE as a populist policy. Most people drive and they are annoyed, big-time, at getting sniped at by tolls.

2) Hogan probably doesn’t realize it, but he’s following my tag-line advice. The vast majority of toll payers are white and they will remember this, even if it only saves them a relatively small amount of money. This is EXACTLY the kind of move he needs to make to get himself re-elected - it is a GREAT MOVE, especially when compared to raising tolls to “balance the budget”...which often translates into robbing drivers to send more money to the Baltimore terrorists.

3) When he gets closer to election day, he might consider simply lifting ALL TOLLS, as there comes a point where the cost of collecting the tolls can nearly equal the money that is raised. As he lowers tolls, he will get closer to this point.

IMPRESSIVE GUY - he seems to actually understand the “little guy”. He may move up the chain very soon.

I still live in the only county where I have to pay to go home.

So, basically this is just for EZPass. Also known as, EZTracktheSheep.

We who do not need, nor want, the magnetic strip revealing our every move still have to suffer.

I guess I’m still screwed and have to pay $6.00 when I cross the Route 301 Harry Nice Bridge into Virginia because I don’t have an EZ-Pass.
