Pa turnpike tolls are way too high

Well I'm sorry but I have to unload on some one . This morning I saw they're working on the top of mountain. There's a switch back on the top of it."a switch back is a 180 degree hair pin turn." And its not wide enough for all the big rigs that are using it. Because the pike which has tunnels that go under mountains is too expensive. So their taking a couple hour detour over the mountains. It's not uncommon to follow a truck going 10 mph. When I was younger I'm 54 now you never saw a truck coming off the mountain and if you it was d&$b sure empty. Widening the road is like tearing up the floor, pouring concrete.,and putting in a drain and drainage system to to fix the hole in roof! The corruption on patk has to stop.

It could've been worst. You could live in NYC and pay the Staten Island toll $16.

Montreal has a wonderful toll bridge. $3.16 for a car .... plus $5.26 if you don't have a transponder.
For a bridge under a mile long.

Come to Ill Noise. They have a hand in every one of your pockets. Speed cameras, red light cameras, tolls out the wazoo. I'm moving asap. The state is broke and has 100 billion dollars of unfunded liabilities. Don't get me started about the property taxes.

You got that right, I have been in your state a lot. I hate going through it or into it a small fortune every time!

It's Indiana (where I am now), or Florida (where I came from) or maybe Kentucky for me. Other states all seem corrupt and/or have onerous **** like emissions testing and front tags.
