Most would have aquiessed to a modest toll. But $17 each way? $25 each way to cross the entire state. add to that- $9 in Ohio, $4.15 Indiana- and $1+ in IL.

I wouldn't object if there were a viable alternative--such as a halfway decent national railroad system.

Rails are nil. Many turned into hiking trails. Supposedly cash is needed for the roads. Well- what then happened to the 5 billion $ road money PA got- at the expense of nearly every other state. Illinois was next with 1 billion. Out of 6.5 billion.

So what happened to it all?

No some of us remember longer then a soundbite. I was happy PA got that money- but this is down-right pig-ish!

I am not against a toll per se- but the amount of it.

Well, PA does seem to have far more construction per mile than any other state, but i think they're pricing themselves out of the market. Fuckit, y'all aren't that scenic, i'll just drive around
