Surprise

I just drove up from Florida to Connecticut to spend the Thanksgiving holiday with my family. So I'm reading the Hartford Courant today Saturday November 17th and I see an article about tolls in Connecticut. I thought it was disgusting enough when they did five different studies on tolls ,and the last one was hundreds of thousands of dollars. What the original plan asked for was tolls at the state border on I-91, 95, 84 and 395.  That all sounded pretty good. Today the paper is saying electronic toll gantrys every 6.6 miles on  I-95, 84, 91, 395, 691 and 291 as well as routes 2, 9, 8 and 15. The price would be 5.5 cents per mile during rush hour and 4.4 cents per mile off peak with commuters receiving an additional 20% discount and heavy trucks paying more. Well from the Hartford area to the beaches in Old Saybrook is 40 miles. That means it's going to cost you about $2 each way in tolls every time you want to go to the beach in the summer or out to Mohegan Sun or Foxwoods. What happened to exempting CT registered passenger cars?  You voted for them, they're going to be in office , and you are going to pay, it's the usual Connecticut story . Aren't you proud to be a Democrat ?
