I,m signing this petition for the simple reason we can't afford these tolls. Owning a business we run through the<br />
tunnels 3 to 4 times a day .Company Truck runs to the job site, I have to run to pick up materials and back again to<br />
run Lunch to them and so on and so on. Heaven help Us if we have more than 1 job a day that requires running<br />

Enough is enough..higher taxes now more tolls...The elected officials need to start getting rid of the excessive junk<br />
programs and start putting the tax dollars to use to improve the infrastructure and update our school systems...STOP<br />

I am a native of Virginia. I recall voting in the lottery to cover the cost of the state roads and public schools. Once<br />
the lottery was voted in its seems the state stopped its contributions to these two funds; each year the state<br />
decrease its allocation of funding for schools and roads. The Virginia Beach tolls were removed because funding was<br />
met and a new program was in force (the lottery.) Just to inform the public that they will have to absorb the cost?<br />
2/8/2012 Oh, by the way, who elected these officials into office? Is this a public spanking?<br />

People in Richmond need to know that <strong>Hampton</strong> <strong>Roads</strong> residents don't want their taxes going up by the states stupid<br />
actions. Along with local governments raising every fee/tax known to man, now the state government is raising taxes<br />
2/9/2012 on a select group of people. When will it stop?<br />
Adam Saich Portsmouth VA 23703 United States 2/9/2012 I travel through the tunnels multiple times a day. Also, traffic is already horrible enough!<br />
Debbie Champion Portsmouth VA 23707‐2922 United States 2/9/2012 All Virginians drive on Virginia's highways. Why single out a select few to pay for them?<br />

Hello; I located to Tidewater/<strong>Hampton</strong> <strong>Roads</strong> in 1980 and vividly remember the burden that the tolls placed on<br />
private and commercial owners at that time largely due to backups. This time the burden will fall on our incomes. I<br />
work for the city of Norfolk and just driving round trip five times per week it adds up to approximately $972.00. We<br />
have not had a pay raise in four years, the economy has taken $80.000 of our savings and now this. This could<br />
possibly have devastang effects on our future.<br />
2/9/2012 Thanks Government for the People. Yeah Right<br />

Brooke Liniger Portsmouth VA 23703 United States<br />
I commute from Portsmouth to Norfolk daily for work and am not willing to pay tolls, which will decrease my<br />
2/9/2012 monthly income, which isn't enough to make ends meet as it is!<br />
