Ah really??? No. I thought EZ Pass meant you got through faster and you didn't pay tolls.

Next you are going to tell me I need a car to drive through the lane.

It's true, you DO need a car to get through the lane.

When McDonell ran for Governer here he said he was going to put tolls on the NC boarder. I think its still a possability.

Ive been in Richmond for about 10 years and never dealt with tolls before i came here. I too hate them, but i think normally they are fair. Its an excise tax, but excise taxes are normally flat taxes so you can make the case that tolls hurt poorer people equally more (which i think is fair). Adding a "fee" to that hurts the poor even more.

All this talk of tolls, eazy pass or what the **** ever is not addressing the big issue which is the mismanagement within V-DOT and more important, the mismanagement of tax dollars within that department.

V-DOT(virginia department of transportation) is a damn disgrace. Im not gonna sit here and list the problems, just google VDOT mismanagement.

My opinion is this, when it comes to Northern Virginia wanting to build a nonstop surburbia mecca, constantly building new shittyer houes and all the roads and maintenance that comes along with it, their needs to higher revenues from that area to support it, instead of the entire state shelling out for it. And that goes for every locality in the state, they should break up the funding into sections and local road maintenance should be supported for that area. In the case of interstates and major highways, the state should support that.
