“The b**tards tried to places tolls I-80 a few years ago in PA. Thank God it failed.”
There are winners and losers in every tax scheme. When the plan to put tolls on I-80 failed (Republican idea), the revenue was eventually achieved through the 30 cent per gallon increase in the state gasoline tax (Democrat idea).
A good chunk of all that money goes to urban mass transit subsidies. Same for the $450 million assessed on the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commision annually.
The problem with these interlocking tax subsidies is that nobody really knows what they are getting for their toll/tax dollar any more.
