Say goodbye to exact change lanes.
When newly approved toll hikes take effect, change baskets will come out of toll plazas at Bedford and Hooksett.
What do you suppose will replace these machines? Yep– you guessed it–
MORE STATE WORKERS!!!!!!
That’s right– we will be replacing automated machines with real live workers–using the excuse that people are too stupid NOT to throw paper money into the exact change lanes now that tolls have eclipsed amounts coverable with mere change. But don’t worry, because, according to turnpike bureau supervisor Harvey Goodwin,
when the exact change lane goes away, people will take their place – smiling, happy people.
And you thought toll increases were to fix bridges and roads. Shame on you! Of course they were going to hire more state workers with the money. And why wouldn’t the people be smiling and happy? You would be too if you were on the receiving end of that fantastic state employee retirement fund– you know, the one that’s in the hole for billions of dollars– a hole that, after you and I are done paying high tolls and gas tax fees will have to fill with whatever money we have left. Again I say,
Thank You Republicans Burton and Wieczorek, I’m blaming this all on YOU! Only complete idiots couldn’t have forseen this turn of events!
