The Continuing Lies Of Connecticut's New Tolls

The continuing lies being told about Connecticut's new tolls truly astound me.
They are being called user fees. They are being called as the only way roads and bridges can be fixed.  They are being called as a way to revitalize Connecticut's economy.  They are being called as a way to improve train service so commuters can get into Grand Central Station ten minutes sooner.  They are being called as a way to help create new unionized jobs.  They are being called the greatest revenue producer since the ill fated state income tax. 
These are all lies by the Connecticut Democrat Party.
All new tolls are a power grab to take more money out of Connecticut's economy to give to a bloated and inefficient state government that has failed miserably to address our failing state economy.
All new tolls help to satisfy the powerful union lobby in Hartford.
All new tolls help to further erode the state's struggling economy.
All new tolls help to increase the costs of living and to do business in the state.
All new tolls will be an economic disaster when revenues fail to match the state's overly optimistic projections of what they will bring in revenue.
There has been no transparency with the Connecticut Democrat Party's toll program.  We really still have no idea how much they will be nor how much they will bring in revenue.  We really don't know where the money is going to go to fix what roads and when.
And with these new tolls Connecticut will still have massive budget deficits.
And with these new tolls Connecticut will still have poor roads and bridges.
And with these new tolls Connecticut will still have over $140 billion dollars in short and long term debt along with unfunded liabilities.
And with these new tolls Connecticut will still have the same economic nightmare that has existed in the state since 1991 and the ill thought out Utopian state income tax.
What a waste of Connecticut's economic resources and its constant redistribution of income and wealth to the Connecticut Democrat Party and its political hacks.
Tolls will not solve anything in Connecticut.
The continuing lies about Connecticut's new tolls sicken me.
No Tolls.
They will not work.  Cut spending instead.  That always falls on deaf ears.
