It kind of pisses the socialist in me off. I pay taxes for roads, ergo, when we need more roads, they should build them.

and not charge me *more* for them.

It would be one thing if they made them toll roads to recoup the money to build the road, then removed them - but they never do anymore.

effers

The problem typically is lack of existing budget to pay for the widening/new road upfront. So they finance them with toll revenue. -- nm - Strongbad Jul 21, 07:08 2
- Right, but I still think once they make that back, they should remove the tolls. - JaxSean Jul 21, 07:12 1
  - I agree. I don't know the specifics of the toll authority in FL but I would hope toll revenue is specifically set aside for roads under them. -- nm* - Strongbad Jul 21, 07:15
