By the way... when did the bridge toll go up to $4?

It just went up in June. Seems there wasn’t enough traffic on the bridge to bring in the revenue they had forecast, so they approved the next increase six months earlier than they’d planned.

It’s classic liberalism: If you’re not selling enough of something, raise the price to make up the difference.

And then they wonder why traffic volume goes down again. It’s breathtaking, really. All I can say is that all the economists at the DOT went to Evergreen. Nuf said.

Oh... but then this comes from a state governed by the party that— at the national level— thinks we should add some big taxes to barrels of oil in order to bring the price down.

Yup. Thems the ones.
