“So let’s get past that claim - and try to figure out the best way to operate these highways so that the public DOES NOT get taken to the cleaners”

The best way would be to elect honest men to public office, and to clean the scum out of the bureaucracies.

Tolls on N.J. interstate highways? Trump thinks it's a good idea.

He also thinks arming Wahhabis is a good idea. He also thinks extending DACA is a good idea.

Gov. Scott Walker on Tuesday signaled he’s open to charging tolls on Wisconsin’s Interstates, but with a key condition: linking it to a reduction in the state’s 30.9-cent-per-gallon gas tax.

Pure B/S. This is the same old Kabuki Treatre of lowering a tax (temporarily) as a sop to instituting an additional one.

In Singapore they do have very honest politicians...not so much here though.

It occurs to me that herein lies the answer we have been looking for. Choke the life out of these Rat enclaves by turning all the circumferentials around these havens of insanity into toll roads with STEEP tolls. Like $100 over axle per trip. Put an end to commuters going in or coming out. $100 tax per trip on commuter train. These Rats love taxing the “rich” they will take the bait, hook, line, and sinker.

“let the free market do its magic - increase quality, lower costs”

How can you say that, when it’s so obvious that the answer to every problem is always raising taxes?

This didn’t mention how much the tolls would be, or which interstates would become tolls. When people are only making $9 or $10 an hour, tolls are a big deal getting to work. State workers in Madison can afford it I guess.

As someone who uses the Marquette every day, I think it was a big improvement when it was redesigned and reconstructed.

As someone who uses the Marquette every day as well, I am happy your experience is an improvement. Mine definitely is not.
