No! Mimicking Illinois is a bad strategy. Wisconsin's DOT is far less efficient even than liberal states like Minnesota. As long as roundabouts are going up in rural districts, the money is being misspent.
Here is a recent boondoggle.

Just another scam to add a new taxing mechanism.
It’s been done before.
Any reduction in other taxes to offset the new tax always ends up to be temporary.
Then you end up with both the old tax and the new tax.

Replacing one tax with another never works. You always end up with both.

Tolling will increase the cost of everything. Bad for everyone.
There are no alternatives to interstates. It is not like buying cereal or other goods.

Um, OK... this is awkward, but... I guess... if he insists...
ahem - Governor Walker, how long have you been beating your wife?

I sure hope Walker isn’t thinking much of running for President again - Mitch Daniels learned the hard way that selling off highways to well-connected Cronies is not a very smart path to the White House.

Wow just remarkably stupid....
So glad this clown never made it to be President.
To: Tolerance Sucks Rocks
I think this is a bad idea.

Better idea: rebate estimate gas tax to Wisconsin users who pay tolls via easy pass stickers. Offer reciprocation to motorists from other states.
Tolls aren’t bad. But paying twice (through the gas tax and again through tolls) is a bummer.

Scott Walker says he’s open to tolling
Scott Walker is an idiot, and the quicker the Wis. people realize it and get rid of him, the better off they will be.

Do not ask for whom the road tolls; it tolls for thee.

Paying toll for road usage is fine as long as ALL of the proceeds go to maintaining the road and NO additional tax money is spent on the road

OK I’m way out here in West Texas where we have one interstate highway that I rarely travel, but to be honest I have no problem taxing the people who actually use the road as opposed to taxing everybody. Tobacco has a separate Tax, alcohol has a separate Tax, oil, gas an it’s byproducts have a separate Tax. Now with that said I would only agree if there was an overall drop in the per gallon gas Tax.

If he and the republican controlled assembly and senate do this I’ll not bot for any of those responsible ever again. Once a tax is created it never goes away.
To: Tolerance Sucks Rocks
You have to pay your taxes! The government needs that money to
build roads,
keep order in the streets,
defend the nation...
What are we paying taxes for, again?

Only charge tolls to Illinois plates - everybody wins!
