Are Tolls a Good Way to Finance Roads?

Wait until next year: Efforts to nix tolls at Exit 12 on the F.E. Everett Turnpike will be re-examine next year, but the delay does not sit well locally.

Wait until next year. Four words people tired of toll gates in Merrimack didn't want to hear. Legislative efforts to remove tolls at Exit 12 on the F.E. Everett Turnpike were delayed in committee, as lawmakers want to look at it in the scope of turnpike improvements across the board.

Do you think tolls in Merrimack will ever go away? Is tolling a good way to continue to finance the state’s infrastructure needs, or would it be best for transportation officials to take the tolls down and find another way? Leave your opinion in the comments.
