Agreed. In this case CT has been so poorly run they would be instituting tolls on roads that haven’t had them for decades. For lots of communities, 95 is the only practical road between two places, such as many poor working Joes’ homes and work.
I live in a wealthy town in one such area, and the rich basically favor the tolls as a way to get the riffraff off the roads and cut down on traffic for their own convenience. Pretty disgusting.
I was part of the movement that got the tolls banned in the 80s. Tolls will not reduce congestion. If anything people will use side roads to avoid them clogging up roads like route 1.
Implementing tolls is an act of desperation by a dying, bankrupt, blue state.

Sounds like my brother-in-law - who voted for Obama twice and Clinton. He also favors $10 a gallon gas to get the great unwashed off the roads and give him plenty of room to drive his Lincoln.
