Bryant Gunn Norfolk VA 23509 United States<br />
i am signing because it is the right thing to do. These tolls are really going to kill me as I have to go to Portsmouth, Va.<br />
about 25 time a week on my job. A lot of my business is in Portsmouth, a good city. This is the most stupid thing that<br />
ever has been done in the Tidewater area. It is going to kill Portsmouth and it will make it a ghost town because<br />
nobody wants to pay those tolls. It makes me very upset to see something like this happen. The simple thing to do is<br />
2/11/2012 just to raise the gas tax, gas is so high now that a few more cents won't maer. Thanks<br />

I live in Portsmouth and go to school in Norfolk. It's extremely hard to pay for classes, books, parking pass, and tolls<br />
2/11/2012 now. It's going to be way to expensive.<br />
Rusty Woods hampton VA 23664 United States 2/11/2012 I have to drive through the tunnels two‐three times a day. A toll would kill mu business.<br />
Michael Twiford Suffolk VA 23435 United States<br />
We do not need to pay to go to work everyday. This is completely unfair and in a weak economy, it is an extremely<br />
2/11/2012 poor decision.<br />
Margaret Padilla Portsmouth VA 23701 United States<br />
Tunnel tolls will act to isolate many Portsmouth residents from the rest of <strong>Hampton</strong> <strong>Roads</strong> and hurt the economy of<br />
2/11/2012 the entire area!<br />

family.. I have a family member who has chosen to be a public servant for the city of Norfolk... does he get a pass on<br />
the toll..no!!!! he is doing a public job... but it will cost him to do that job, . I go to Norfolk when a family member is<br />
at Norfolk Sentara(which is "the best" and then have to pay to visit and park there)business..we make many<br />
deliveries that take us thru the tunnels and now we will have to decide if we should pass that on to our customers<br />
along with the rising gas prices.. How much more do we have to endure!!! Looks like "we"(anyone) has no say in the<br />
2/11/2012 maer!! we take it or what?????<br />
Virginia Windsor Virginia Beach VA 23451 United States 2/11/2012 I would prefer a gradual raise in the gas tax to fund roads and public transportation.<br />
William McClung Jr Norfolk VA 23507 United States<br />
The cost of the tolls will be difficult for a lot of people. The state has not control over what those tolls will be.<br />
2/11/2012 Nothing is being done to alliveiate the fact that you putting many of them out onto an outdated <strong>Hampton</strong> Blvd.<br />
I have to travel through the tunnel on a regular basis. I am retired now and on a fixed income. I had to deal with tolls<br />
on the tunnel for years while in college and during the first couple years of employment. I would rather see a $.03<br />
per gallon gas tax than this. Please feel free to contact me.<br />

J Johnson Chesapeake VA 23321 United States<br />
raise the gas tax by 15cents and use that money to fund restoring highway infrastructure. Son't spend our money<br />
2/11/2012 making another country richer for the next 50 years. That is stupid.<br />
Bill Hunter Virginia Beach VA 23454 United States<br />
Tolls will further fractionize the communities of the Tidewater. Talking for the cultural and arts community, folks will<br />
be less likely to attend cultural and arts events in Portsmouth or vice versa Norfolk. We don't need this additonal<br />
2/11/2012 reason not to attend events in our region.<br />
Jean Koch Virginia Beach VA 23452 United States 2/11/2012 These tolls are bad for our region. Please consider a raise in the gas tax which would be paid by all in the state.<br />
Renata gach‐sanin portsmouth VA 23707 United States 2/11/2012 this will place a financial hardship on our family!<br />

Irene Terry Portsmouth VA 23703 United States 2/11/2012 Use a gas tax.<br />
Robert Calhoun Chesapeake VA 23321 United States 2/11/2012 why are state officials afraid to let the people's voice be heard in this issue, let the people vote.<br />
Lynette Peterson Virginia Beach VA 23456 United States<br />
I live in Va Bch and commute to Portsmouth during the week for work. The tolls they are proposing are outrageous!<br />
2/11/2012 There are other ways to pay for the new tube and repairs!<br />
William Davis Suffolk VA 23435 United States<br />
The tolls will be very costly for <strong>Hampton</strong> <strong>Roads</strong> citizens especially for people on fixed incomes. The guaranteed<br />
2/11/2012 increase per year to a private company is outrageous since it's a state public infrastructure project .<br />
John Bennett Yorktown VA 23692 United States 2/11/2012 Tolls will affect me going to work.<br />
Rodrick Barnes Newport News VA 23608 United States 2/11/2012 I will not be able to afford to get to work everyday through the tunnel to Norfolk.<br />
James Strudwick Suffolk VA 23435‐2818 United States<br />
Industrialized nations nearly all use fuel tax to fund road projects and maintenance, why not us? It's the only<br />
2/11/2012 equitable way to make ALL the people who use the roads pay for them.<br />
