This is a very bad idea, tolls are a necessary revenue source and can also discourage driving, which can help reduce pollution.

And before the accusations of "taxing poor people" come flying in, I don't believe that poor people should have to pay the great expense of car ownership, and I have consistently supported legislation that reduces car dependence.

An excellent piece of legislation! I encourage it’s immediate passage.

At least the South passes based stuff without putting stuff aimed towards bringing us closer to a ban on car ownership in every bill.

Given that an overall majority of the court will probably vote against this, I’m withdrawing sponsorship

I think that we should still have a vote.
