Step 1: Misappropriate highway money (fuel taxes, registration & inspection fees, etc.) to the "General Fund".
Step 2: Penalize business (a RI standard) to generate revenue by taxing (tolling) trucks.
Step 3: The market (trucking companies and independent drivers) adapts and avoids RI, thus defeating the measure's intent.
Step 4: RI residents (EVERYONE) gets taxed (tolled) to make up the shortfall.
