To repair Rhode Island roads, report calls for new tolls, taxes and higher fees
PROVIDENCE — Driving your car may take on a new and larger meaning — for your wallet.
To fix its crumbling roads and bridges and rescue the state’s financially challenged public transit system, a draft report made public yesterday says the state should consider charging tolls at the state line on every interstate highway and creating a new tax for each mile a vehicle is driven.

So how many East Bay residents drive into work via Mass? I know my wife does.
Not to mention the burden this would put on the working man who has to commute to a jobsite.
I guess the state thought their taxes on 4 dollar gas would go on forever?
