Eileen, you are old enough that you will be gone when tolls on cars will be enacted. There is no such thing as a temporary tax or toll. Cars will be tolled in the future. RI will never improve if our GA members, yourself included, cannot manage to find good solutions to our problems instead of a knee jerk reaction of raising taxes, implementing tolls, etc. Some of us are old enough to know that the state sales tax was raised 'temporarily' to the highest in the country. Our income taxes now are higher than what used to be called 'taxachusetts'. I could go on and on but you won't listen. Just this final thing. You've been in the GA for decades. What did you do to keep our roads from being such a disgrace? Were you blind to the DOT budget for maintenance? Do you feel any culpability?
