I am very much against truck tolls. I fear that this will end up in court as alleged "discriminating against trucks" and the "solution" will be to have tolls for everybody. As if R.I. "had no choice". Then the money will go into the general fund as another form of taxes. I just don't believe that the money will be spent on "repairs of our bridges", as it is being sold to the voters that way. Does anyone? Was the money from the Lottery spent on education? It was sold to the voters that way.
Was the 1% sales tax "temporary"? It was sold to the voters that way.
Was the state income tax "temporary"? It was sold to the voters that way.
Our state keeps losing citizens because we keep raising taxes. The only way to reverse that trend is to "Cut Taxes - Cut Spending". The result will increase taxpayers, which will increase Total Tax Revenue (TTR).
Happy Summer everyone.
