Asked about toll fairness during a Patch live chat, Governor Deval Patrick asked a reader whether he'd support high-speed tolls. Are these a good way to share the transportation funding pain, or another money grab?
Are high-speed tolls along Interstate 93 and other highways a smart way to help fund transportation in the state? Governor Deval Patrick mentioned such a system during a Patch live chat on Thursday. If you've gone up Interstate 95 into New Hampshire, you've seen high-speed tolling in action. The system is designed to read your EZ-Pass (nee Fast Lane) transponder while you breeze by at 65 miles per hour.

One state rep. says it's a possibility to avert service cuts and fare hikes on the MBTA . What do you think?
During a meeting to discuss the MBTA's financial state Wednesday, State Rep. Sean Garballey, D-Medford/Arlington, mentioned putting a toll near the border with New Hampshire as one way to generate revenue for transit funding. “Open road tolling is a possibility, on the New Hampshire border, that Governor Patrick and the (MBTA) caucus is looking at,” Garballey said Wednesday.
