The Romney-Healey indulges a little electoral blackmail
by moving to abolish all Mass Turnpike Tolls west of Route 128 on June 30th 2007.
In other words, "vote for Healey and maybe we will get rid of the toll booths next year assuming we don't take the Commonwealth off an economic cliff between now and then."
It is to say the least a pretty transparent ploy all from a cabal that has done naught but soak the public via a plethora of sneaky-ass fees nigh these past four years.
Why not give back some of that 750 million large The Viceroy and his gang shook down from hunters, fishermen, gun & auto owners etc etc etc etc...?
Well they can't give any of that dough back, they are gonna need it to cover the 100 million dollar shortfall engendered by closing the tollbooths.
Honestly, these people will happily create a depopulated wasteland of Massachusetts, as long as they can rule over the rubble.
