Latest from the Turnpike Commission: Let's remove ALL the tolls from the Mass Pike!
And, then we'll make up for it by raising the Gas Tax an additional 10 to
19 cents a gallon from the current 21 cents!So, instead of getting a toll from only the people that actually USE the Mass pike, we'll exact a toll from EVERYONE in the state, whether they use the Pike or not!
We estimate this will raise $300M a year in revenue
That way, we get to keep the Turnpike Commission intact, and *WE* get to keep our cushy, high-paying jobs at the further expense of the taxpayers!
And, you people keep asking me how Kerry and Kennedy keep getting re-elected...?
