The big lie of the toll roads is that once it is paid for we will drop the tolls, the tolls on I95 between Baltimore and Delaware were extended three time, before finally getting dropped, but Delaware is still sticking it to you.

The “Tom Landry Highway” aka I-30 from Dallas to Cowtown used to be a toll road, only one I know of that ever had the gates torn down. He should just have hooked up with the Spanish company that builds and manages the ones here in Texas.

I’ve got news for you: the I-95 tolls are still there, at the Susquehanna River bridge.

The big lie of the toll roads is that once it is paid for we will drop the tolls,

That was the lie that was told to Houston residents when they were building the beltway around Houston. The politicians said the tolls would stop after twenty years. When the twenty years was up, a reporter confronted the guy who was in charge of the toll roads.

He said, "If we eliminate the tolls on the beltway, we will have to find another source of revenue for the new roads we are building." Of course, the guys who were in charge twenty years ago are long gone and can't be held accountable for the false promises they made.
