 are you in favor of federal legislation to allow states to make interstate highways toll roads  yes no undecided beward of trojan horses in toll road proposal we already pay enough in taxes including taxes earmarked for roads gas taxes license taxes etc let the feds cut their outrageous waste and use such savings of existing taxes to improve highways and roads but also beware of several trojan horses in this proposal 1 note the phrase how the toll money could be used for all transportation areas this would include more of drivers and cars and trucks subsidizing bike and bus and boats etc currently this is happening as cars and trucks subsidize roads that are shared with buses and bikes who do not contribute their fair share of paying for the roads on which they ride increasingly in lanes which are limited to them only even if they pay not one cent part of the toll collection would increase this unfair burden shift locally we ve eliminated a car lane and added 2 bike lanes on michigan ave and they re now working to have one side of michigan ave from the capitol to meridian twp only able to be used by buses eliminating on street parking and making it harder for drivers to turn and harder to access businesses on one entire side of the street for the entire stretch 2 charging tolls would also be a perfect way to begin to restrict or halt highway travel within and between states first by beginning to stop vehicles then to charge whoknowshow much note the comment that the charge could be different at different times of day and once the process of stopping and charging and treating things differently at different times begins it s a small slide to restricting access at all during certain times or at all pay attention to what is going on in the western states and not just with ranchers and recall how the feds closed access to all state parks and facilities which included roads when some budget matters were debated until they got what they wanted pay attention to land use planning in the west that wants to restrict human access to large areas of land because of various animals or bugs and the restrictions would also effectively close many highway areas it s also a small slide to envision an expansion of tsa to these toll roads to search and pat down and who knows what else watch all of this like a chess board
