Fund Toll Roads With Taxes, Not Tolls?
Yes, once again, witness the open lies and deception of the Democrats in North Carolina government!
All along, while the Democrats in the North Carolina legislature tried to convince the people of North Carolina to support toll roads, two issues were promised again and again. First, the people were told that all toll roads would be optional, alternative routes — in other words, no toll road would replace any main road so that if you didn’t want to pay for the toll road, you could still move about freely. Second, the people were told over and over that the toll roads would pay for themselves and that they wouldn’t cost people anything.
And of course, they lied.
The Senate has passed a bill that spends over $20 million a year to build toll roads. Worse, they’re proposing an increase of almost 30% for your car registration to pay for it.
It’s not a joke — when the NC Democrat politician’s lips are moving, they’re lying.

Holy Cow Ogre! I wonder what they plan on spending the tolls on? Maybe paying the toll road worker 6 figure salaries so they will have lots of phat government jobs to buy votes with this fall????
Indeed, the toll income will pad the pockets of bureaucrats and legislators.
