I hope that this lawsuit succeeds. Pennsylvania's greedsters need to stop diverting turnpike tolls.

Yep, it’s a scam, and I have a Penn. EZ pass.

Wanna know why?
Wanna know why there is a democrat governor in Harrisburg who with a corrupt supreme court are about to gerrymand republicans into oblivion?
Governor Tom Corbett (R) hung PA with a 32 cent tax increase on gas - highest in the nation.
And then made increases to the PA Tolls AUTOMATIC.
And republicans wonder why they can’t win.

EZ-Pass makes it much easier to charge onerous tolls. Most people just breeze through, never knowing how much they are being charged. When the monthly bill comes, most just pay it without even scrutinizing the individual charges.
My monthly bill has crept up into the $60 range. The only reason I even look at it is because my company reimburses me for business driving so I have to separate the business tolls from the personal tolls.
Just another added expense for living in the Northeast. Now even Connecticut looks to get in on the toll action.

Looks like a modern day Tea rebellion is in the works.

Corbett was a damned disaster! He made it impossible to argue for voting republican.

I moved from Philadelphia in 1993. My ancestors arrived in the late 1690's. We had one home in Philly, one on the Jersey shore, and one cottage I'm the Poconos.
We were the first to go, but within ten years not one family member still lived in Philadelphia, and all but one moved out of the state completely.

If Corbett had any sense, he would have had Act 89 amended to eliminate the transfer payments right away and prevent ever-increasing amounts of the higher gas tax from going to the state police. In principle, I don’t have a problem with the gas tax hike, however.

Sounds a lot like how the Illinois Tollway is run.
I checked the PA Turnpike toll calculator and if a car with EZ Pass enters the turnpike from Ohio, and gets off at New Castle, that’s 9.27 miles and the toll is $5.18. I know it is calculated differently in Illinois, but the toll plazas are about 16 miles apart and the usual I-Pass charge is 75 cents.
I guess I can’t really complain that much about the Illinois Tollway. Well, I probably will still complain, but this gives me a little different perspective. Now, the Chicago Skyway at $5.20 a pop is a different story.

Most people don’t know that truckers pay up to $200 just to get on and off Long Island, NY.

Isn’t it something like $105 for an 18-wheeler to cross the George Washington Bridge?

Yes, its the same as tax withholding. How nice no one ever has to think how much any of this costs.

Pre-9/11 it was ten dollars for trucks. Today it’s $110.
