Base Salary for a Massachusetts toll taker (an uneducated and unskilled cashier) is $60,000. That doesn't include health and pension benefits. Try finding one in the private sector for that.
Ya go 290 pound government clerks with 3 inch nails treating the people the other side of the counter like they are annoying them, as these parasites force the private sector to re-register the same freaking vehicles, over and over and over and over. All while the bloated government employees discuss what they're going to eat for lunch and where they are planning to retire to on their government pensions.
Ya ever been to a court nowadays? They've got more cash registers than a Super Walmart.
A racket and scam does not begin to describe this government insanity.
in Massachusetts.
..or you can drive through the "Fast Lane," which is a computerized system . Obama should stop blaming ATM's and blame the state government for this "technology".
This is funny http://www.zug.com/pranks/turnpike/ The Massachusetts Turnpike did not really care what you put in.[this could be dated] And I might add very unfriendly toll takers [note below] in those few toll stations occupied by a living body.
Taxpayers pay over and over again to build and maintain roads..why should they still continue pay to drive over them? I wonder if you get to name the road..like in when the sign asks: "Buy a Road?", they put your name on it; then do you still have to pay.
Won't even get into the Big Dig which construction went on and on for years [is it really safe?] which taxpayers all over this country paid for and will never even see say much use.
Massachusetts has always had a corrupt state government as long as anyone can remember. The toll money went to the Turnpike's plutocops, formally named Troop E reported the biggest of the racketeers who ran the Turnpike into the ground [ article] Then MA had Paul the Cook Moccia, the cocaine dealing Turnpike toll collector who went up on murder charges having shot, dismembered and then cooked up the bodyparts of his cocaine supplier. [will also drive through faster next time Yikes]
[not bashing you, LoneRangerMassachusetts, just the state..but it is fun to listen to through WRKO's Howie Carr.] ;)
