You're trying to split hairs. "They" are the tollway authority. This is yet another one of the thousands of
state agencies that uses
state power of imminent domain to take property for their own purposes. Also notice that this is SH171, the "SH" stands for "State Highway". I hardly think a local town can just decide to erect a tollbooth on a state highway that passes therough their town for the purposes of raising revenue.
They have to use speed traps for that instead.
Its not splitting hairs. You show me where Perry is converting the roads. Show me! Put up or shut up.
Follow BobL's link where it is stated that if the road is built toll free, it won't be built for a long time. If it is built as a toll road, it will get built quickly.
You are just like BobL, you want someone else to pay for your ride. Screw you, it ain't gonna happen.
