Ditch Jigger Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 If you happen to live in the Buzzards Bay side of Bourne and work on the Cape side this would would be like a tax increase as you would pay it every day as opposed to the people going to the Cape for a vacation...Just like the commuters who use the Pike the Tobin or the Tunnels,great huh? According to the CCT article--this bright idea is being floated by the Barnstable County Commission. I wonder if they remember that some of us on the "other side" still live in Barnstable County?

Bob Thomas Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 What gets me is that they said the camera will take a picture of the plate and you would be mailed a bill. Let me ask this...who is going to get the $120k job of running the plates every day, printing the bill and mailing it...another Deval neighbor?? What a crock of #$%^&*!! SOMEONE will have to get the information from the plates and run them!! Bob ThomasSOL#162 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tagger Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 They said the money would be going to the Cape .. Cape probably starved last year due to gas prices .

canal-rat Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 Does this mean there will be a toll for the canal tunnel too??? "The only things worth learning are the things you learn after you know it all." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canal-rat Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 What about a toll for only non residents? Do you think the non residents are going to mail a check to the state for 2 dollars. I wouldn't. It would be trashed "The only things worth learning are the things you learn after you know it all." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocket500 Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 The Commonwealth is throwing absolutely every possible tax up against the wall to see what sticks. The ones that don't result in outrage will go on a short list and they'll pick from that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M1911 Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 Bridge tolls are more insane than tunnel tolls or Mass Pike tolls in what way? Because you'll have to start paying tolls, as opposed to us poor SOBs who pay Pike Tolls every day? Everyone doesn't mind taxes or tolls as long as it is the other poor SOB who gets taxed. When they are the one getting tolled/taxed, then they get all bent out of shape. All tolls are a wasteful. 30% of every toll dollar collected goes to collect and count the tolls. All tolls should be eliminated and replaced with a gas tax -- far more equitable and far more efficient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAQ Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 Channel 7 just reported that the tolls may be higher during peak tourist season. Unbelievable, they already want to raise the tolls that don't even exist yet. Embrace American Privilege Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob_G Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 I've suddenly become a major proponent of tolling both bridge, and tolling them hard, now that Ch 4 has announced that people who live on the Cape year round will not be subject to tolls. "Make em pay, $5 each way!!!!" is my new mantra. The Sultan of Sluggo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
