The toll booths are mostly controlled by people of mid-East extraction. Many do not speak English. This is crazy. Next we will see passage refused because somebody has a bottle of McNaughton's in the trunk. Sort of like the toll road version of middle east taxi drivers.

I so much hate to think about where people are from, rather than appreciating who they are (or not appreciating as the case may be...) How do we know who is from what country? How many people from what country are working on the toll roads? Who manages them?

those toll booths must be covered by outside contractors or toll road leased out or private. back in mid atlantic and northeast it used to be all democrat gravy jobs. if you know some politician you could get on a toll booth. great pay, state pension with cola. if this is no longer the case then democrats gave up a great give away to their supporters. i knew quite a few kids back in boston area that did very well as toll booth workers, retired with full pensions on little education and lived very comfortably thanks to the state. ps in ma. i think it was port authority that ran bridges and mass pike.
