Simplistically it makes sense for drivers to pay for the roads they use.

I actually agree, but there are two things:

1. The Feds still haven't gotten rid of the ban on tolling existing lanes on federally-funded highways, and

2. I believe that tolls should only be imposed on stretches of previously-free highway that just underwent a major project, such as a widening or rehabilitation. The tolls can be used to pay back part or all of the funding, and then fund the maintenance into perpetuity.

Before we all jump on to support the “Toll Road Scam,” the authorities that have been collecting and dispensing the road tax and toll monies MUST BE AUDITED!

That too!
