We are all used to them, we would lose all the revenue the tourists contribute, the toll takers would be out of work and we are thumbing our noses at $11 million a year.
If the Virginia Beach-Norfolk Expressway bonds are indeed paid off and the road improvements are funded for the next six years, we can use that time to accrue at least $66 million to help pay for something crucial like the Lake Gaston pipeline project.
My yearly bottled-water bill is higher than what I pay in tolls. The minor inconvenience of the tolls is a small price to pay for a healthy and dependable source of water. When some foul-smelling, salty, squirming fluid oozes out of our shower heads, we won't care much about the Southeastern Expressway.
