In Support of PA Turnpike Rate Hikes

 

We received this photo just in time!!!!

Yesterday the news was that the Turnpike Tolls are going to increase as of January, 1, 2014.

Usually we would say, “Hell no!” to something like that. But…..

We support the hike so that we can have access to drive on one of the worst roads to drive on in the rain that ALSO has some of the worst night-time markings of any other road ANYWHERE. We also support the raise in rates so that the Turnpike Commission can have plenty of money to put toward its legal bills regarding the former administration’s accusations of favoritism and kickbacks.

And who WOULDN’T want to pay more for the courteous service one gets at the toll booths!!! Oh wait, and the rate hike is DEFINITELY worth it when you think of the time you get to wait behind some Jagoff that doesn’t want to wait in the looooooooooooooong line to pay their toll and then scoots over into the EZ Pass lane and then beeps their horn in “Oh CRAP I didn’t realize this was an EZ Pass ONLY lane can you please let me through” fashion as they wait for an attendant to assist them WITHOUT ANY TYPE OF FINE!!!

And even more.. Turnpike-ites… we support your rate hike so that you can hire sign-putter-outter PROOF READERS, so that people don’t find pictures like the one above, Ya Jagoffs!

Thanks to @steelCityVoice on Twitter for this pic above that was taken near the Butler Exchange!
