To: Tolerance Sucks Rocks

I travel that back and forth regularly .... including today..

Why should I have to pay a toll because government politics screwed it up the first time?

Why should I have to pay more in taxes because a lot of people from LA, MS, TN, AR, etc. want to go to our beaches? I don’t believe anyone should have to pay a toll but, if someone does, make them pay when they’re heading to our beaches.

I’ve heard things like $6 toll. I travel back and forth now maybe 3-4 times per week. Is that $6x2 (back and forth)x3 days = $1872 more in taxes for me? Or $2496 for four days average back and forth. Anyone suggesting a toll for INTERSTATE travel should be removed from office.

Or they could do like Delaware and keep the toll minimal ($1.00) on weekdays defined as Monday morning through Thursday evening. Friday morning the tolls jump to $4.00 or more.

Hits the weekend Delaware beach goers coming and going.

They should have built a bridge to begin with instead of that stupid tunnel.

I’ve always said whoever signed off on that Eastbound entrance should have been prosecuted.

as one of the Mississippians that has travelled over drawbridges or gone the long way around ,I marvel at the beauty of the suspension bridgeand it’s ease of access. But I wonder at the method of collection, I dread the method of collection’s inherent cumbersome payment and the amount not as much. I am so happy to visit the sugar white sands that I’ve visited since 1962,when my dad used to load us up in the Chevy station wagon and take the 6 hr trip,(back then) so he could relax in the view of sparkling blue green water without being shot at by the Japanese who owned the previous beaches he’d seen (Saipan, Tinian and Guam.

As an out of state beach goer, I like visiting the Alabama Gulf Coast.

Where exactly is this bridge?
