Here Come the Tolls

Governor Corzine doesn't like paying taxes, or tolls, but he doesn't like bridges collapsing, either. So more tolls and taxes are on the way.

I'm split on this one, just like he is. I drive over those bridges every day, which means I'll have to pay the higher tolls every day, too...

While the governor declined to say how the $13.58 billion in repairs would be paid for, Mr. Kolluri concluded that a 45 percent toll increase would be one option. But in a letter to the governor, he said a toll increase would cover only bridges on the New Jersey Turnpike, leaving it unclear how the repair of the state’s other bridges would be financed.
