  • I’m also against tax dollars spent to build toll rolls, especially if they are handed over to private entities. I’m not familiar with your postal system, but it would be odd if it requires a significant amount of public funds to operate.

    Yes, the lowest income may not be able to afford cars, but that ignores the large swaths of barely surviving folks that can and do operate vehicles out of necessity. For instance, many in the service industry or “unskilled labor” likely have to commute in to work in these places they can’t afford to live. Depending on their location, there may not be public transportation in the meaningful sense to get them to work. There should be provisions to address this, but there often isn’t.


  • I don’t have a dog in this fight, though I do have two concerns with this approach in general.

    1. Were these roads funded by taxes on the public? If so, will this be addressed now that the public is essentially barred entry without further paying?

    2. This specifically targets, impacts, and restricts those with lower incomes. Are there any provisions to address this? Likely not.
