We don't have any toll roads here in Michigan (yet) but I know I'll oppose them every step of the way.

The reason Michigan doesn't have any toll roads is there's no where to go ~ Indiana, just to the South, provides a vital link between Chicago and New York/Pennsylvania.

A toll road makes sense. A freeway, paid for by Indiana folks, which would primarily serve interests in Illinois, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York and Michigan would be crazy doncha' think!?

I was just going to post the same thing.

Here's a solution for the rest of the country - Don't have toll roads! We don't have them in Michigan and get by just fine without them.

Isn't there a toll to go across the Mackinaw Bridge?

funny you should mention that, there was an aritcle in the lansing state journal about the governors and their ideas on what to do about roads.

article mentions something about devos liking the idea of high speed toll lanes. i'd really like to know what that means.
