NJ Turnpike tolls seem certain to rise in’09

For months, Gov. Jon Corzine and lawmakers have pitched increases in New Jersey Turnpike tolls to pay for big road projects and slice the state debt.

But tolls probably will go up within a year anyway for another reason: to keep the New Jersey Turnpike Authority from defaulting on its bond agreements.

The only way, it seems, to solve a problem in NJ is to hit hard working people with another tax increase, another toll increase whatever…is this the way Corzine solved problems in his real life occupation? I don’t think so…we never would have heard of him because he would have been fired his first month on the job.

I have a great idea…stay tuned.
