We don't need toll roads, and they will be a bane--like HOV lanes, like light rail--sucking up money like vampires.

You might be new to these threads, so let me fill you in. One of the primary contentions against the road is that it will be privately-operated.

"One of the primary contentions against the road is that it will be privately-operated."

this is an area of confusion for me. in Colorado they are converting HOV lanes to toll lanes. If taxes PAID for those lanes, how can they take them away?
also, recently on C-470, a toll road, I noticed state troopers at EVERY overpass. how can state cops patrol a private road ? finally, why would they want to NAZI a road like that. I'm not kidding, I saw at LEAST 15 cop cars on my 20 mile drive. who would want to PAY for a drive like that ??!
