If you want to see how corrupt the highway toll system has become, then take a look at Illinois. I’m not surprised to see Florida want to get in on the scheme.
Great thread for my b—ch.
Election year politicking: Florida Lowering motor vehicle fees. Raised 5 years ago by Crist. It appears the rollback is about 30% of the yearly fee folks pay on the cars.
Crist almost doubled them in 2009.
Now my gripe. The fee for titling a vehicle went up in 2009, THREE-FOLD. $25 to $75. That hasn’t gone down 1 penny.
My personal concern is the need to remove grown children from vehicle titles that the insurance company required them on when they were teenagers. State takes $77 to simply remove one name from the title. No true ownership change at all.
The more children in the family the worse this punishment is.
If they are existing lanes, you don’t need to build them. It’s about rich people getting their own lanes built by poor people, so the rich can get richer, while getting privileges denied to the now much poorer peons.
Welcome to communism comrads.
All drivers have the right to use the entire road system.
They pay the same taxes as everyone else.
And New Jersey proved the inefficient HOV lanes impede the flow of traffic.
Hah. One time the illegal aliens might have to pay...
I really hate toll roads/bridges. Fricking unbelievable how much they keep going up and up in price.
Yeah, let's make it a wealth gap issue, idiot. It also makes commuting quicker for those willing to pay $0 as it clears their lanes of the drivers who are paying the extra $$.
Pffft. Love toll roads. Don’t like them - then don’t take them. Most equatable tax around in Florida.
Want to see a “Progressive” get all red-faced? Talk-up toll roads.
