This talk about
tolls is just more proof of the incompetence of the CT legislature
under Gov. Malloy and the democrats. It is nothing but tax and
spend. Vehicle owners pay a sales tax when they purchase the
vehicle, yearly taxes to towns and cities, taxes on the tires,
repairs and maintenance of the vehicles and one of the highest gas
taxes in the country. Despite all that instead of operating as a
private company which can not just arbitrarily raise rates so they
look for cost cutting methods all the CT legislature does is take
more money from the workers with no concern what it does to their
families budget and their lives.
I think it is time
the Mass Transit system and the busway to nowhere starts paying for
itself. I don't mean a profit, however it should cover all its own
expenses without using taxpayers dollars. All its vehicles,
salaries, fuel, maintenance and money for the up keep of the roads
should be covered by the fares charged. If routes don't cover their
costs they need to be eliminated, or if other routes make more than
enough to cover themselves that money could be used for the lower
performing routes. This is business 101 you have to make enough
money to cover your expenses,apparently our democratic lawmakers
never took the course or if they did they flunked it. It is time the
middle class workers in CT got a break. The American Dream was to be
able to better yourself, in CT that is not true all the democratic
lawmakers here do is find ways to make sure we will never achieve the
American Dream through their Tax and spend attitude.
