They sort of tried that when they, in their usual screwed up fashion, tried to put a toll on Interstate 80 from border to border... The “logic” being that having a “free” interstate going east to west was competition for the turnpike that cuts across the southern part of the state.... The plan went so smashingly well that the turnpike users are paying twice as much as they were before the attempt to toll the interstate.

Build more toll roads.

That was part of the great Eddie Rendell boondoggle plan to throw up toll booths on I-80 and shift the bill to people who don't even live in this state. A plan so blatantly illegal not even Obama's Transportation Secretary could find the means to justify it.
