The only question for me is how soon do I leave CT.

Never mind. I came here by accident.

Lived in Fairfield County CT for 16 years ... from ‘76 to ‘92.
Early on in my CT years there were tolls on I-95 & the Merritt Parkway. By the time we left CT in ‘92 they were gone ... still have some toll tokens (in a box somewhere)left over from the Merritt Parkway days.

Wasn't the gas tax at the pump supposed to cover road maintenance costs? Where is that money going?

House Speaker Joe Aresimowicz, D-Berlin, slammed anti-tolling resolutions that some cities and towns are passing as “absurd” and “moronic” in comments Wednesday. Democrat representing Berlin, huh?

Apart from Fairfield County (a *wildly* wealthy place) Connecticut would most surely qualify as “rust belt”. The stats that I've seen suggest that the people of Fairfield County are leaving in droves.

This mileage tax... none of its proponents seem to want to address what happens when those motorists travel to other states... they’ll be paying the other states’ fuel taxes AND will still pay the mileage tax. Those who support that kind of double taxes are far more moronic than ANYONE.

Shut up and do what you’re told peasants. Your “betters” have called for you to give them more money.

Add to that....(1)It'll make trips to CT casinos less desirable. (2) even more people will choose two-lane highways that wind their way through still-livable CT towns. It'll cause their destruction, too. Think about it. A whole lot of towns will get just like Derby, with Rt34. (3) All that incoming cash will mean that pols will have bought another few years of not addressing issues of corruption and bad budgeting.
I'm thinking next trip east after tolls are in place: Rt 80 across PA, cut up north to the MA Turnpike, which is much better maintained than CT roads and can be avoided if one wants a scenic route.

As a good liberal, he should set up toll booths with optional payments. Pay what you wish.
