Texas Fishing In Pennsylvania Waters

Funneling motorists through the toll gates like salmon means big money for some, but who is raking in the cash and who's paying it?

Turning Asphalt Into Salmon Runs

How Politicians conspire with owners of private highways to make you pay—twice.

Today’s question: why would a motorist cough up to drive on a toll road? That’s easy: to get somewhere he can’t go on a free road, or, more likely, to get there with less agony.

Now, let’s go back to the owner’s side. In order to harvest more cough-ups, what would it take to pile more agony in the paths of motorists who choose to avoid a toll road?

Other days, they could lose mattresses off the backs of pickups, something that would cause chaos in traffic but no damage to anything but the mental health of commuters.

Your chance to join the salmon run may be in the planning stages even now. A number of states are scheming to set up toll booths on interstate highways. Pennsylvania announced a $3 million contract with McCormick Taylor to set up a system to track and record every car on interstate 80 for billing purposes. This is the same McCormick Taylor that has been pumping campaign donations into the coffers of Governor Edward Rendell and then Speaker of the House John Perzel. (emphasis mine)

I don't really like fish that much and I hate being treated like a fish that didn't see it coming and can't get off the hook, especially by a bunch of old anglers.
