Great idea.

BTW, Michigan’s only toll road was set up as a temporary toll for 10 years to get the highway paid for..... and that was nearly 50 years ago.

Ah, that’s 50 earth years. But the politicians who promised to end the tolls in 10 years were thinking that you were an alien from the planet Saturn. That’s almost 295 of your years, earthling!

How many toll roads had their tolls go away after they were supposedly pay for?

We’re fighting tooth and nail right now to stop a toll road between here and Charleston. You know what they say. “Just until the road is paid for.” Yeah, right.

Where is this road? I was under that impression that Michigan does not have any toll roads.

Yeah, the Golden Gate Bridge toll was supposed to go away after the bridge was paid for in 1971. The toll is now up to $6.
