The problem with toll roads is that our taxes will never go down, and we’ll also be paying a toll. It’ll be double taxation.
Here in Indiana we build toll roads and then sell them to Australia. Then they raise the tolls.
If private road builders can come up with enough cash to buy out private property owners without resorting to using the state’s imminent domain power, I don’t have a problem with this.
I think we should open a toll booth upon entering NC. The cost? Twice as much if you're going south as if you going north. Maybe we can slow down those crazies coming to this state driving like they are on the NJ turnpike. And make them pay like they do us!
Don’t buy it (literally!!). Toll roads are like playing the lottery - they’re a tax on stupidity.
Not no, but hell f---ing no! I pay out a large fee on top of my cost of gasoline every time I fill up at a gas station. So do hundreds of millions of other U.S. Citizens. Who in their right mind can claim that it would be a good idea to devise another revenue stream for the government?
Honest to God folks, have we as U.S. Citizens lost our fricken minds? Will our gas taxes be reduced if we pay out $2 every twenty-five miles as we travel down the highway? Of course not. We'll still be paying the same gas taxes, plus a new toll fee... shere insanity.
Folks who propose this are absolutely nuts.
Here are more great ideas. We can't increase property taxes in California, so let's introduce a new curb tax. For every foot of curbs that abut our property, we'll pay $1,000 to the state. Let's start a new window fee. For every square inch of windows in homes, we'll pay out $10.00 the the state. Let's start a new tree fee. For every tree on our property we'll pay out $250 per year in fees to the state. How about televisions. For every television we have, we should pay out $500 in fees to the state.
Why would any of these fees be any less stupid than a stupid assed road toll road fee? Folks, quit buying into any increased fees. If you've already paid for those highways, and you have, why should you back selling that road to a private concern so you'll have to pay for them again?
Toll roads and partners, like other states are doing, where foreign entities benefit?
Many of the planned new roads in Arizona are really a conduit for Chinese trade. They are either Canamex or Canamex related, which is our state’s version of the Trans Texas Corridor, TTC.
This will connect Mexico, the US and Canada.
A giant step toward globalism.....
No toll roads/corridors!!!
I pay taxes for roads. The money is being spent in CA on services for illegals. I oppose toll roads.
