Some of the comments below the article are pretty funny.
Maryland “Freak State” PING!
The pigs in metropolitan DC take great care of themselves, spending vast money we don’t have on things they don’t even need.
I have no idea what this road does and why it was built (yes, I read the article) but why would I want to pay $8 a day to drive slower than the non toll road?
The reason? They jacked the tolls up so high that few commuters can afford to pay them on a daily basis. Laffer curve, and all that.
Meanwhile the people who live in Southern Maryland get no new roads and cant even get the ones we have repaired so they are fit to drive on.
Rt’s 4 and 5 are so worn out that the last repaving has worn through in spots to the old paving beneath, and potholes abound.
Mean while our dipstick Governor screams for more money because he stole all of the Highway money and put it in the General Fund. Registration for boats,trailers doubled and he wants to add a 6% sales tax on gasoline to the already 20 cent tax he has on it.
Oh: Lets not forget how proud he is that he got the Fag marrioage act passed. Time wasted since it will go to referendum and fail. I contuinue to wonder how any legislature can pass such an act.
