Yep, another way to pull the money out of your pockets, not maintain much, and then stuff their pockets. I love politicians. In Illinois, the toll system was put in to pay for the initial project, then they were to be taken out (50 years ago). Guess what,they’re still in place milking drivers every chance they get, and raising the fees every few years. It’s a total joke and criminal theft operation. Look up the I-Pass System in Illinois, especially the complaints from out of staters who end up on the toll road, don’t know it until it’s too late, and then pay fines on late tolls ten times the charges. Nauseating.
Right you are- I used to know a gentleman who worked for the tollway, collecting the money from individual toll booths. Not to say this is true of all tollway employees, but he told me himself he was a committed communist.
I believed it, too.
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.
