Politics, News & Issues > Politics, News & Issues (Other) Are highway tolls the answer to Connecticut's money problems?: 1 of 6
I think it would be erroneous to believe that one tax format being created or, in this case, resurrected would stand as the "cure-all to the state's revenue shortages. I have always respected the simplicity of toll booths inasmuch as they are, without possible argument, the most defined "pay for service" tax ever created. Pas... More..

She Went Green, then Turned Red!I deeply admire the "Green Movement" in our country, and globally; and sincerely believe that an honest movement in this direction is the right thing to do for our children, and the generations that follow. The operative word in that phrase is, of course, "honest". I'm going to surrender, to yo... More..
