    @DrPK – It took you 38 years to move out of this “cespool” [sic]? Couldn’t have hated it THAT bad. Living in Florida now? I’m sure there’s a huge improvement there.

    Bring back tolls, CT’s highways are all clogged up with out of state drivers….make them pay for using these roads.

  4. Vinny says:

    Does this mean that car taxes will be dissolved? How is that even fair to have both?

  5. Rover says:

    NY State Sales Tax is 4%.

    Anything over a purchase of $75 ($75 x 4% = $3) and the shoppers are still ahead when even paying the $3 toll !!

    The toll won’t stop people from coming to the mall.

  6. Tom says:

    Legalize the recreational use of mj and tax that. Doing so, will generate all types of revenue that will help the state.

    Don’t worry Mayor Mark, it ain’t gonna happen.

    CT simply sucks ! Thankfully I no longer live in that cespool of a state. 38 years was more than enough, now living in Florida and it is one of the best decisions I have ever made. Good riddence CT !!!! Oh and by the way folks …, read this – http://www.forbes.com/sites/jimpowell/2013/08/01/how-did-rich-connecticut-morph-into-one-of-americas-worst-performing-economies/

    ENOUGH SAID !

    Malloy is all taxes all the time. He hasn’t kept a promise yet. Tolls will kill the economy that already lagged the recovery. As long as Democrats run the state, nothing good will be done for the state.

    To hell with the mall, will tolls knock us off the cusp of downtown revitalization success?

    I paid 3 bucks to get to Foxburough. SMH

    I am very net rested in how tolls would SPEED up traffic. Did you ever cross a bridge? ITS backed up. Another issue is bussinesses that employees would now have to pay a toll. NOT GOOD. The housing market would take a hit scaring away commuters to westchester. The mall would take a hit losing revenue, jobs and tax money. I think we better get a crow bar and get you know who’s head out of his ars.
