You know me, I’ll drive 30 miles out of way to avoid a toll; especially one paid to CT.
Haven’t used theole EZ-Pass in a few years. Heh.

"It is obvious a states business tax climate is in bad shape when it chases away a major employer to a neighboring state whose longtime nickname has been Taxachusetts. Yet this is where Connecticut now finds itself. General Electric GE +0%s January 14 announcement that it is relocating its global headquarters from Fairfield, Conn. to Boston, Mass. is the latest example of how tax policy, and the electoral outcomes that direct it, are critical to a states economic health and competitiveness."

“..When Congress created the Interstate Highway System in 1956, states were prohibited from tolling the interstates..”
As I recall illannoy had tolls from the get go. Supposed to pay off the bond matching funds by early 80’s. However, they were such a rich source of revenues, patronage jobs, clouted Chicago contractors, etc that they have been perpetuated.

Connecticut in the 70s were business friendly. Headquarters were moving in and we had manufacturing plants. In the 1970, the Dems passed an income tax...it was repealed when Thomas Meskill became governor. Democrats were as conservative as Republicans (my friend’s mom was a state representative and the my state senator was a businessman. They were different parties.. friend’s mom was a R, the State Senator was a D, now liberals of both parties are ruining Connecticut, thou the Republicans are waking up...

I'm counting on it. :)
Yet, I'm still wearing fleece clothing. Go figure. A bit thicker material for the hungry mosquitoes to bite thru, I guess.
Blackfly season must be around the corner.
