Wait a minute! The in-debt-to-their-eyeballs Turnpike Authority has a RESERVE ACCOUNT -- as this state is pushing HIGHER TAXES?
They just HIDE OUR OWN MONEY from us, don't they?
"Leaders agree to delay toll hikes; Move could allow time to craft transit strategy" by Noah Bierman and Matt Viser, Globe Staff | March 20, 2009
.... Yesterday's plan, which Patrick announced in concert with House Speaker Robert A. DeLeo and Senate President Therese Murray, calls for the authority's board to use $13 million of the agency's $54 million reserve account, a tactic that one of the governor's top transportation aides had called a "shortsighted gimmick" earlier this week....
That means commuters still face the prospect of paying higher tolls, increased gas taxes, or both, but not until this summer.... --more--"
Yeah, but we are still going to get socked!!!
