Connecticut Turnpike--was that within the past 20 years?

The western several exits of the Mass Pike were made free in the 1990s by Bill Weld, who recognized that people in the rural Berkshires didn't need to pay for a metropolitan area highway.

Ding!! That's the one I was thinking of. It wound up that the trucks kept plowing into toll collectors, so they simply dropped the tolling. It was around 20 years ago.

Good for Bill Weld also - he may be a spineless Republican in other ways, but he would never punish his voters the way Perry's doing in Texas.
