So they're planning a system of toll plazas on our nation's highways.

111. Apparently the toll amendment was withdrawn

Guess who submitted the amendment for tolls? DEMOCRATIC Senator Carper (Delaware)

And guess who countered the amendment with an amendment against it? Texas REPUBLICAN Senator Kay Bailey Hutchinson. I NEVER thought I'd see the day where I agreed with her.

"We must address structural flaws in the Highway Trust Fund," Carper said. "I hope that my amendment represents the beginning of an honest and important conversation about our nation's long-term transportation needs and how we pay for them in a fiscally responsible way."

Hutchison also called for a debate. "Should states or any entity of government be able to toll any free lane of the federal highway system?" she asked.

"I believe that when President Eisenhower said we need a national highway system ... he never envisioned that a state would put up tolls across an entire federal highway and make the taxpayers who have paid for 50 years to build these highways pay again to use the highways they have built."

I guess we need to stay tuned, and those in Delaware need to call Senator Carper and ask him WTF????
