People be crazy. They should have just left the lease alone and raised gas and diesel taxes by another dime.

Like I said, Holcomb and his legisl00ture should have just raised the gas tax by another dime to get his $1B. The Democrats would have glommed onto that like a big dog.

Agree. Sometimes the Stupid is just a bit too strong in certain people to be undone.

Seen this sort of thing in Ohio, where no-toll highways parallel the Turnpike. Semis clog up local traffic for awhile but eventually they go back to the interstate.

Shunpiking by using US Route 20 instead of the I-80 toll road. I’d do it. Bet lots of truckers do also.
Ultimate Governor stupidity.

Yes, in this case, I actually agree with a truckers’ boycott of the Toll Road. What Holcomb is doing is a form of theft. He needs to be primaried, IMO.

At least when Kasicko monetized the Ohio Turnpike, a significant portion of the money went to accelerating the rebuilding of the turnpike’s concrete base.

Thanks for the ping, Tol.
It would sure be nice if the coroner there sent the bodies of the motorists killed trying to avoid the tolls to Mitch Daniels, the ‘genius’ who came up with the idea of ‘privatizing’ the highway.

“Yes, in this case, I actually agree with a truckers boycott of the Toll Road. What Holcomb is doing is a form of theft. He needs to be primaried, IMO.”
The way it works for truckers is very simple: If they are NOT in a rush to get to their destination (for example, if independent, they don’t yet have their next cargo scheduled), then what the hell, save the money and stay off the toll road - that’s CASH in their pockets. I suspect that the fuel cost is a push (slower usually means better mileage, but stop-and-go traffic negates it).

I don’t mind the original agreement, but I DO mind this sudden jacking of truckers to effectively siphon money to the rest of the state, rather than simply raising the gas tax another dime or two. Theft.
