I heard on the radio this morning that the state of MA is upping the tolls on the Mass Pike again!  To get into Boston it is now going to cost $1.25 and if you get on where I live in Waltham, it actually costs $2.50 because there are too tolls one to get on and one to get off.  Also, I feel bad for anyone who needs to take the tunnels who will now be paying $3.50.  The thing that stinks about the whole situation is that the tolls were originally meant to pay for the repair of the highways and were eventually supposed to be phased out.  According to the news, the toll hike (starting in January) is to pay for the ridiculous cost of the big dig.  Gotta love it – the state screws up and wastes billions of dollars and years of time and the residents need to pay for it– gotta love our system at work!
