Fury as US state weighs up border toll for visitors and declares war on pickup trucks in move neighboring residents insist is another 'unnecessary' money grab
"The concept of tolling drivers entering the state of Massachusetts has angered some Americans - including local politicians. New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu, 49, was among those to speak out, after the idea was floated last week by Bay State Transportation Secretary Monica Tibbits-Nutt. The Republican slammed the prospective guidance as ' yet another way to unnecessarily take [citizens'] money,' this time by taxing them at the state border.
The yet-to-be penned bill would affect travelers on roads, rails, and local transit systems, Tibbits-Nutt said, and would be in effect all throughout Massachusetts.
Other local conservatives also piped up about Tibbits-Nutt's remarks at the advocacy meeting April 10, which included some not-so-kind word about pickup drivers. 'We can't price them high enough or put enough fees on them … that's going to stop the type of person who wants to buy that car,' the state worker said, after being asked if there's anything her department can do 'to help protect residents' from their emissions, or deter people from buying them."
How much lower can the leftists sink? This bill would not only apply to cars and trucks, but to trains as well.
It's so drastic, I wonder if it's even constitutional?
Jeez, maybe the British will take them back.
