I cant believe this is an issue, the tolls went up after the taxpayers said no to the idea, how much of the taxpayers money was spent putting up the toll equipment, and a year later they do away with the tolls. The toll issue was never documented just as what had to be done to pay tolls, and it was on the honor system to pay. The state should cut its losses and wipe the slate clean and not worry about the un-collected tolls, as it will cost more taxpayer money to try to collect them. Lesson learned, think before inserting foot in mouth.
