1065 Mike BoydDon't make 540 a toll road, if the government can't pay for a new road with the taxes they're already taking, then don't build it at all. Tolls are put on roads to "help pay to build the road" but rarely, if ever, get converted back into a free road, even after the road has been paid off. After all, if they're making a profit and have a new source of income, why would they ever stop charging??
1066 AnonymousI moved my business, and my wife moved with her telecommuting job to NC -- in large part because we were so fed up with New York taxes and misuse of taxpayer dollars. Please don't follow in their footsteps, and don't even begin to go down that road of "a little toll here, and little new tax there." That is what destroyed NY state for business and families -- and productive, tax-paying people like us see NC as a friendly alternative and continue to help the area blossom.
1067 Whit ScottRaise taxes, not toll plazas. What's next, a toll on every mile of every street? This is ridiculous. Get the funding approved and raise taxes if there really is a need for a road. Tolls are not the answer as they will NEVER be removed if they are established, even if after the road is paid for!

1073 John BeallIf designated Interstate-540, ie I-540, would there not be Federal $$ that make up a substantial part of the funding/ instead of a toll road. I want to know what FED FUNDS helped to build the existing segment. Why is this option never discussed - a toll road option w/o trying the interstate option seems bone headed. It seems only designed to establish a Toll Authority and pay for yet another gov't function.

1075 AnonymousI feel that I have paid for the roads already with the gas tax and income tax. Now the state want us to pay to ride on them also. This is redicuolous.

1077 Jeff BurgessNc doesn't need any toll roads. Tell Easley to quit raiding the highway funds for his pet projects, and there will be plenty of money to fund the 540 extension.
1078 Todd WalshGreat, the taxpayers get to pay for the bonds that build the road and then pay for the road after it's built.

1084 Carrie CurryI am a frequent traveler on 540 and a toll for this road on top of already high gas prices would significantly affect my bills.

1086 Brian Phillipsno more tax dollars for teapot museums! build the infrastructure and taxes will come in! NO TOLL ROADS IN NORTH CAROLINA!!
1087 AnonymousIt is outrageous to retrospectively charge tolls on an existing road that taxpayers have paid for like the 540 stretch between I-40 and NC55. The historians should point out that the war of independance was started over unfair taxes by the British :)

1092 AnonymousWhy should I have to pay to drive to work when northern Wake county residents drive for free?
1093 AnonymousIf I have to pay the money, then do it through income tax. Don't take my money AND make me sit in traffic too!
