| Published: | Wed, 25 Feb 2009 |
| Description: | The Turnpike passed toll increases last night - not straight up to the appalling $7 level in the tunnels - they're doing it incrementally. Up $2 at the end of March, then up to $7 in July, increases that won't happen, they say, or will be rescinded, if the gas tax goes up. Todd says when it comes to taxes, what goes up doesn't come down. |
" War -- him anyway gum balls drug problem that we passed recovery plan -- and I want to. Yeah it's important amendments. And while not a stimulus bill this spending bill what -- of stimulus France."
" But when he says but there's no earmarks I just picked up the -- We'll pick going to take up more that has 9247. Year margin in the omnibus appropriations --"
" Follower and builders are bonds threw elbows are about and thickest. Stick it I think they're better at it got -- I want to revolution and its creator in this country. It's time for senator and small Romo getting treated Jack -- raise taxes solemn veteran Adam told Feinberg. Senator -- must."
" So what does. The PlayStation 3. Plus time I've felt something that goes on a teacher from polio kidnapped -- took -- tell India unbelievable hey Wendy Murphy how quiet this bought it."
" Did you listen I have yeah we did actually did you tell us sitting on the beach -- in the Caribbean I think -- I was saint John's. I was saying was -- to cry and then send one and one other nicely to -- sailing did you Newark delaying -- in the rain for. You lose -- a series of delightful mood there was a report that came out last week and I thought have you instantaneously it was a report four. Sharp reduction. In shark attacks believe it -- not sunbathers and swimmers. -- And you told not to wear any flashy jewelry when you were snorkeling I assume now now all I always. I'll have all as she brought it all anyways I think after the turn off I don't have flashing up that did say don't touch the coral bushel but. One of my children circled. So close. She actually got a big -- she's pushed up against the prior character away and did you know -- was so -- and -- license or all of them very much everybody -- behind the pop pop pop pop pop -- must not be printed on until I was so yeah walked in here just now in a -- everything I set about the -- toll increases cheers she sat on -- Gonna get a bump up in both things aghast at a -- that's that's -- company with Ouattara and I do not think you get both things if you get the gas."
" look at the same time this year but we will get but also gives a false dichotomy shame on him."
" You fight for truth and justice and equity in according to I got to the color of your book but anyway. And so Aaron laughed at talked about truth and justice and justice for some so we want to do justice for all would you agree. That it is much more of a much fairer way to raise revenue gas tax off paid by one and also reject as opposed to tolls paid by a field."
" Look I. Like neither cherries Alcan and if you forced me. To choose I would say there's it is irresponsible to do anything with the pike increased because that is the most. Poorly run and bear sing car rocked. Fat filled organization and I I think they should be if she wanted to elect to abolish it. -- In at least do something responsible to reserve cutting costs before you ask for -- grotesque. Increase thinks it is strictly because I'm a credit card person. And you guys may not run your lives like this but. I rarely have cash I always have a piece of plastic -- right now you out of the airport. You got a plastic or eat at six bucks I rarely have six bucks sure got a piece of plastic. The credit card and yup I know what he's talking about Neitzel half the total tab is listening is an -- question you should have fewer humans making incredibly ridiculous amounts of money. And being allowed to retire at what 20s26. Years post the full pension -- ever tell you be out of some of these things. Point is that in virtually every story go into even the most you know the pop store if you don't have -- four bucks for bottled milk you can swipe your card. I didn't have cash one time recently -- and they make me sit there and arm like I was a foreign country and."
" Maybe that's all. Look to call us so -- yeah yeah agriculture could exceed because he likes to do would."
" Grocery gentlemen Kenny -- it's like got one ala Paul some ridiculous that a different issue but but but but the pledges of people don't have money you should not take five minutes to make them fill out a damn I'm willing -- would inefficient would you have them do. Machine and ago does that their bitter you got cut you cut side jobs doing battle down."
" The kinds of elements -- so sure about that those discredit kind of -- Broadway cast as well they're -- for -- they -- New York City inner cities and -- I think the mayor is imposing it is -- condition -- relationship for Texas but that's a -- they are not looking to cut the number of employees which is why they're not willing to -- thanking -- line not increase the number of -- let's not overstate the case that may have been -- previous administrations and I'm not saying this about Deval Patrick a -- about -- The head of the turnpike for the past couple years. He has been cutting bodies left and right over -- one of the smartest most disciplined and creative guys I've never met private sector guy enormous success. His comeback and served in two functions under a couple of -- he's got that payroll so tell me why I grab all of relate -- in the morning this two guys sitting there -- nothing to do arena box there at all but why don't they have got their pairings for the onslaught that follows yes."
" Forty dollars an hour that they are getting paid to do that as -- but the pension issue and we talked of this at the -- pension issue. Is so huge it's so huge because you can say to responsible citizens who don't have any extra -- to spend sorry. You'll have to do this it's your role as a citizen you -- participated in this economy allowed. And oh by the way that man right there is going to get some of your money he already gets forty dollars a year -- 40000 -- is going to be able to retire. Wait before you're going to be -- retired just give him some more of your money anyway that's so -- you cannot ask citizens to take that -- which is probably why. You read a story today but the guy landlords or somebody and large who shot a bullet all -- I that the -- and I don't -- I don't that's."
" I don't disagree I think melt down I don't disagree that people around great I'm predicting that if in fact they passed the gas tax as it's been proposed in roughly the same amount. This increase this new increase will be rolled back understand this is silly why you don't have to measures you need good dose of common sense of and discipline so pitiful I measure a -- fix every one of those DM pension loopholes there a disgrace should not be tolerated eliminate everything that gets rid. Get rid of the well read the turnpike authority yeah get rid of all holes in every -- this commonwealth. Have a gas tax it's a user base system -- of story --"
" I hop doesn't think never -- why does so well Charles. -- Hal let me ask us why should I."
" I come back up with duty days it would happen so I'll tell you wrong with our democracy that we've got a governor saying you must choose this or that you are setting up this fake fight which is -- form of him. Extortion of our democracy why instead isn't the legislature. Saying not now. You two acts at the turnpike authority or we will not take the best we vote for that unless you do this why -- Richard."
" He has aren't you playing chicken with people who bought bonds they bought bonds they -- they -- debt issued by the commonwealth club by the turnpike they now are in a position to go in if that if the turnpike defaults on the payment. Like you and I default and on a mortgage the how to impact can take home. The the bondholders can take the assets of the turnpike it's about seven. Billion dollars and assets for a couple of billion dollars in debt it's in -- serious outcome so their play there's a little bit chicken going on. I don't actually think it's a Foster as we get the debt from the Big Dig we can rant and rave and we have all day and all night."
" I just maybe should get -- ash and do some allied response I don't honestly re not relevant played dead because to -- pack it's just fake pilot got some calls and -- we should -- has passed last night until July 5."
" And I think it's here to stay of Todd says it's going to be a permanent -- Massachusetts there is saying you won't go into effective that if the gas tax increase goes in Arafat's first and if the gas tax happens second that the rollback and not by and catch the catch the sunrise while we take you aren't -- six -- seven is that what does not match went 6860. -- in the car accident -- you guys -- Hey Jeff good morning."

I've been looked at about six months this I'd love to start with six months ago I worked my way or what what sort with a lot that. Starting with -- thirty day come back. You're in the legislature. Or. Years 26. And couldn't get this situation changed."
" Yup and all he needs is thirty days to fix he's wiser and carjacked. I was older and wiser Jeff fort point all right I got it -- all right Jeff. I get rebound go ahead point -- going at."
" Point -- given your experience in the state of Massachusetts. I've -- incredible. It's your night give -- would allow you to believe that both -- all fight and the gap -- aren't going to happen."
" That's how I feel that's not all that happened and Randy this savvy. -- given attorney feels the same -- while okay anything else ever."
" My -- my last point don't get bank of all of the legislature rather than. Finding ways to take more money on the taxpayer. Probably should step down and had a little Talal as to what they were going to do should question one have."
" Yeah you mean they should have this all planned in other words then they should have had a plan B --"
" And it and and and shame on taxpayer -- well -- question one. The result of that gave them a green."
" That was a big mistake but I think everybody can see that now Jeff and what they should do instead of thinking about question one is nation ever rule everybody several now. Don't vote for any Democrats under any circumstances. And Democrats literally -- there -- no -- Democrats it's it's about the party in the total control has over the state which allows this level corruption to be maintain America's black covers."
" It's as yet -- months and months and months and said that I was the type a Democrat you would support. So now you say can't find -- dog's body -- you if you're hot hot hot hot -- proper authority is so tell Florida vote again I like going to respond to Jeff Jeff raised a couple of points okay on the issue of pensions right. A change that we change the payment system in the funding schedule. Wall Street said this is the most sober serious grown -- way to -- pensions they have now people paying as much as -- trying to defend your 26 years and yes if nobody wants -- in forty plus tax cut about seven -- everyone knows what -- HIV that a credit rating of the state at the top of the -- during two horrible. Recession you have some great music you play well what does -- the -- yeah -- Now that doesn't that doesn't mean it's not bulletin the American people really don't care how -- Six months sunrise is -- six let's go to -- Colin from lol and I he'd he's he was happy yesterday but I don't think he's happy today hey John good morning."
" Yeah about the music going to put I didn't have bags. Yeah I hate your strategy in you -- I couldn't quite a little access to the people of Massachusetts. Where the platinum business you can happen."
" And -- very good job -- and you make a good point but I just want something more. Then the slow poke approach to taking write more dollars that sob."
" But since I was right I immigrant mood because -- daddy came on television last night. He's got a good population. And everything's going to be okay all -- I was return to Ireland to the bitter. -- the -- and it's not good enough people going to -- got a brilliant match yeah let religions that NATO. And that just doesn't want. And that's it and it's madness is also you know why because they're going to result -- are."
" Well I yet don't hold your breath on that its president and six state -- know -- John Jerry Johns he's I haven't but you know what he can he must Ebert and -- you're living in this got a powerful state Jarno dozens of."
" order Jon is like a political Bloodhound is put his nose in the year and a talent yeah. Next but not this fall the fall of 2010."
" Take a morning. I just want to express my opinion regarding the whole lessons. I'm -- with all the abuse to a certain extent where. I don't know it's -- to. Equality -- tax the -- we -- based on other much gas that they use it gives it to penalize the people -- coming in my artistic."

Link to get to a place where how would you like to be the push in on the portion -- who lives in Natick RF Framingham quest to pay every day."
" They do I do feel for them I don't think its debt 86 come up with some type of my feet. Not gonna like fees -- taxes. On that we're being spread evenly and you want to own a vehicle potentially could potentially. Notre that would might have but --"
" I -- that's a -- to -- Sam Kennedy annual -- per registration as opposed but gas is really driven by an -- you know it is that the number that you pay the figure that it has going to be driven by the -- aggressive to cruelty of the poor and the working class to -- standing -- and using any language of -- like -- the language of -- you -- as the liberals are for higher taxes even when it crashes. The pork. And the middle class let's say we can get to Don Colin from Plimpton and hate Don good morning."
" I am lucky show thanks want to make the point that Saturday morning I sent to -- and represented at Caltech. By opposition to the gas -- like feel badly for the book and I have to -- total also. I feel badly for the -- it everyday. But why pay the gas tax.
