Once again, New Jersey politicians demonstrate a tin ear to what their constituents want and to the state of our national economy. Only in New Jersey would they contemplate, let alone approved, a massive toll increase on the NJ Turnpike and Garden State Parkway. Have they been watching the news or talking to any of the voters over the past year? I mean, their drivers surely see what the cost of gas is here in this state don't they?
By 2012, the cost of driving on both of these horrendous roads will DOUBLE.
They say reason for the increases is to fund road improvements. Unfortunately, a lot of that money is going to go to the contractors who have given them the most support which means the cost of the improvements will be astronomical.
When will it end?
