Tolling....
And a good Monday morning to all...
Well it seems the state legislature will be taking up the issue of restoring toll booths to Connecticut's major highways this week. There's a public hearing on a proposal scheduled for Wednesday I believe.
I'm curious as to what you might think about bringing back tolls?

The idea of returning tolls - as I understand it - is still more conceptual in nature than specific. Those are the details that will have to be worked out over the course of this year's legislative session - IF there appears to be enough support among lawmakers to move forward on the idea.
I think it is safe to say there are pluses and minuses associated with this idea - and everyone is pretty much going to come down based on their own belief of whether the pluses, in their opinion, outweigh the minuses.
Wednesday's public hearing should provide some insight into what people are thinking - but I doubt it will provide an clear sense of where this idea is headed.
I think it's a stupid idea. Instead of looking at ways to control spending once again, the legislature is looking to find yet MORE ways to tax the people in this state to death. Same thing with that real estate conveyance tax THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO GO AWAY this year.
And they wonder why people are moving away from here in relative droves compared to the rest of the country.
