Toll booth fairness is nonexistent
I’m writing about “Pay fair share of tolls” that ran Sept. 13 about people paying their “fair share” for the tollway. OK, how can there be a “fair share” when people without an I-PASS pay twice as much?
I suppose the toll commissioner’s response would be that they have to pay people to take tolls; that’s my next complaint. They have one toll booth that isn’t staffed at night. I drove my Camaro up to Chicago last year for Muscle Car Nationals, and I used it at night. I then saw they expected me to do their job.
I called the toll number and explained I had gone through, and they could stop by anytime and get their money. The nice lady explained I had to send it to them or the fine would go up. I told her I’d be happy to do that, I charge $20 an hour with a minimum of one hour. So actually they’d owe me money.
