I don’t have a problem with the concept of toll roads, but PA has a huge gasoline tax that promised to revitalize roads and bridges. It didn’t work, or should I say the lazy ass overpaid piece of schiff PennDOT employees don’t work. There is one thing guaranteed in PA. Whatever tax is instituted you get more of government and less done by government. The Commonwealth’s budget should be slashed by $15 billion (about 50%) and send these unionized lazy ass employees to the private sector where they have to earn their pay.

Sheeple get what they vote for or what they stood by and allowed election cheating for...

The Wolf communists are always on the lookout for ways to impose more links in those chains...

Pennsylvania Turnpike, raises tolls EVERY JANUARY 1st. every year.

the cost to travel that road is terrible..

We had a Doctor at the Cleveland Clinic for 31 years, we had to finally find a Heart Dr. locally in SW PA. due to the cost of travel for just a check up...we both really liked hubby's doctor, but the expense had gotten just too difficult, when living on a limited income.

We avoid the turnpike completely now.

# We don’t tolerate this crap down here in the South. Only place I’ve seen toll roads is in Florida.

They are all over the place in Texas. I avoid them like the plague and scam they are.

Yea, we thank the incredibly corrupt Democrat-turned-Republican for all our toll roads. Eventually we did slow him down, but huge damage was done, and remains.
