We will be taxed one way or another and the EZ-Pass, www.ezpass.com, is

I warned last year they were already using trackers in Washington state
to see if they can start taxing by miles, road use, or even time of day
for driving instead of gas... Everyone said I was crazy but gee, I was
right again.

You referred to a wacky proposal in Oregon that was not implemented.
This is not the same.

You need to see the ICC, Inter County Connector, in Montgomery County,
Maryland. There are not toll-booths and you use an EZ-Pass to pay for
your transit of the toll road.

Virginia's HOT Lanes on I-495 will be collecting tolls the same way with
EZ-Pass

The future is here.



Just like the lazy cops in the next town over. They put scanners on two
squad cars and not two cars a day make them the big bucks cruising
around in the local mall parking lot looking for folks who missed a
parking ticket or two.. I am sure they have a great kickback plan with
the local towing companies too...
