In East Bridgewater two women are trying to get a group of townspeople together to come up with more ways the town can raise money through new taxes. And guess where they want all the new money raised by the as yet to be found new sources of money to go, the schools. This is two civilians who do not work for the town itself. They don't even serve on an elected board. I can only imagine what political party they are enrolled in.

So does that only effect cars?
Will they include all/any trucks crossing over, bringing all/any consumer goods? If so, you can expect a serious jump in the cost of EVERYTHING!

This is just some political whackjob's attempt to appease his own wet dream at the cost of everyone the lives and travels on the cape.

If this idiotic idea (one of many this state has had to offer) were to pass, you would definitely see tourism and businesses on the cape drop sharply, just adding to the strain the residents will be enduring.

Here's the article about the "toll idea"

Three-fourths of the Earth's surface is water, and one-fourth is land. It is quite clear that the good Lord intended us to spend triple the amount of time fishing as taking care of the lawn.

well more money for schools is a good thing IMO, some schools don't have enough to function, they can use more. Nothing wrong with investing in our children.
There might be other ways to do it though without just simply raising taxes.
