I agree Bob. I hate toll roads. Given all the taxes we pay decent roads is the least government can provide for us.
The government’s responsibility with road construction is only for roads that can be provided for with tax revenues from the general revenue.
The Constitution says nothing about the government’s responsibility to provide road infrastructure to only those that can afford to pay a”user fee”
Central Florida toll roads are a clear regressive tax on poor and lower income people
I don’t recall ever hearing a Democrat complain that toll roads are unfair to the poor (like cigarette taxes for example. Democrats love those, too). That said, a very large percentage of Republicans are not one iota different.
As far as I’m concerned, if the government can’t pay for road construction out of the general funds, then we don’t need the roads.
