    Make tolling simple, focus on borders

    Why is it that Connecticut always makes things as complicated as possible? Rhode Island is making millions of dollars with four toll stations, while Connecticut buries itself in a complex idea that is opposed by most of the people.

    Put tolls at each entrance to the state: I-95, I-84, I-91, and I-395. Heaviest use of these roads is from out-of-state trucks and cars passing through. They should pay more than 40 percent of the bill. They don't need to stop for gas, so there is no revenue there. I wouldn't mind paying a dollar to come home from visiting my daughter in Massachusetts, but the state could exempt residents with an EZ-Pass type system. We do need tolls, but not the complex ideas being pushed by the gvernor. Keep it simple.
