Increase taxes? You're philosophy is so much of a "I don't want to pay for that." I rarely use the Mass Pike so I don't want to pay for it.
I'd rather them put tolls on US93 than the gas tax to go up. The people that use the roads should pay for their maintenance.
Why should people that live on the Cape or out in Western Mass have to pay increased taxes so that the people that commute into Boston everyday don't have to pay a toll or wait in lines?
Distributing the costs to everyone sounds very Socialist of you.
