The reason we are faced with the tolls is due to the failure of our government officials. Highest taxes, highest unemployment, worst roads and bridges, failing education system. Yet the citizens don't hold the elected officials accountable and keep voting them all back into office. So if it is going to take a toll to get them out of office then bring on the toll, the higher the better.

The RIDOT is so desperate for money, they will try anything. These tolls are just the beginning. Let's try the VMT (Vehicle Mileage Tax). Watch this to arrive on the scene shortly. The DOT is financing all of those transportation bonds with about 30% of their budget. All of those ads about "keeping people workings in RI" was a real bust.
