Tolls don't really have an effect on me anymore, shame that those who have daily commutes into the city (especially from Solano County), have to get taxed for this wasteful project.

And while we're at it we'll use the threat of force to install a GPS on your car / truck / etc and charge you by the mile. Everywhere. Even back roads / city streets / dirt roads.

So you say you're a struggling member of the middle class commuting in from Los Banos?

Toooooooooo bad. You are not green enough. We despise you. /sarc

You think middle class (especially lower middle) actually relish such a choice?

Which ivory tower are you in?
