$4 Tolls on Interstate 95 Possible

NEXT A FOUR LETTER WORD THAT RAISES THE IRE OF MANY A MOTORIST- TOLL. MORE COULD BE COMING TO VIRGINIA--NAMELY I-95 IN SUSSEX COUNTY. THAT MEANS ANYONE FROM HAMPTON ROADS TRAVELING NORTH WOULD HAVE TO SHELL OUT FOUR- DOLLARS. EVEN MORE FOR BIG TRUCKS. 10 ON YOUR SIDE'S JASON MARKS JUST GOT BACK FROM A MEETING. JASON--HOW DID IT GO? THERE ARE A LOT OF USPET DRIVES. RESIDENTS WERE THERE HOLDING "NO TOLLS" SIGNS AND WEARING STICKERS LIKE THIS ONE SAYING "TOLLS ARE HIGHWAY ROBBERY" THEY KNOW THE STATE NEEDS TO FIND A WAY COME UP WITH MORE MONEY, BUT THEY DON'T WANT IT AT THIER EXPENSE NATS IT'S NOT UCOMMON TO HAVE A RALLY NATS AT THE LOCAL HIGH SCHOOL. SOT 39=:8:04:54 "YOU CAN'T AFFORD TO PAY FOR IT NOW" BUT THIS ONE IS IN SUPPORT OF ONLY ONE TEAM: 42=:8:08:54 "NO ONE PERSON HAS ACTED ALONE IT'S BEEN A TEAM" TEAM NO TOLLS SOT 34=:7:54:25 "I'M RALLYING FOR SUXXEX COUNTY THAT WE DO NOT GET TOLLS IN SUSSEX" NATS 57=:8:25:44 "I DON'T WANT NO TOLLS ON 95" PEOPLE LIVING IN SUXXEX COUNTY AND EMPORIA ARE HERE TO LET THEIR VOICES BE HEARD 38=:7:59:26 "WE JUST CAN'T AFFORD THE TOLLS HERE IN SUSSEX" THE PROPOSSED TOLL WOULD BE ON INTERSTATE 95 RUNNING RIGHT THROUGH SUSSEX COUNTY. IT WOULD COST DRIVERS NOT ONE, NOT TWO, NOT THREE, BUT 34=7:55:22 "IF IT'S FOUR DOLLARS EACH WAY IT'S 8 DOLLARS A DAY FOR MY HUSBAND FOR MY HUSBAND TO TRAVEL BACK AND FORTH TO WORK EVERY SINGLE DAY" AND FOLKS HERE SAY THAT MONEY WOULD QUCIKLY ADD UP 38=:8:00:43 "THAT WILL BREAK ME" (PARRELL PARK) MARIAN GOODE ISN'T NOT ALONE. 38=8:00:49 "AND THERE ARE A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE THAT ARE IN THE SAME SITUATION THAT I AM IN TODAY" INSIDE THE SCHOOL 68=:8:43:40 "I DON'T WANT ANY TOLLS" RESIDENTS FILLED UP AN AUDITORIM-- TO LISTEN TO WHAT VDOT HAD TO SAY-- 75=8:48:26 "I HOPE THEY SAY THEY'RE NOT GOING TO DO IT" OFFICIALS DIDN'T SAY THAT BUT-- THEY DID LET THE PEOPLE KNOW THERE IS A PLAN FOR REDUCED RATES FOR RESIDENTS. THOUGH FOR AMRY VETERAN RICHARD WYCHE HE KNOWS IF TOLLS HAPPEN THIER ARE THINGS THAT WILL HAVE TO GO 75=8:49:41 "WE JUST TRYING TO HAVE A FAMILY DINNER IT WILL CUT THINGS LIKE THAT OUT" VDOT ESTIMATES THE TOLLS COULD RAISE 40 MILLION DOLLARS A YEAR FOR THE STATE NATS "NO TOLLS" BUT PEOPLE HERE SAY-- THAT MONEY COMES WITH A STEEP PRICE 38=:8:00:54 "WE NEED HELP RATHER THAN TO HURT US" THE INITAL PLAN WAS TO PUT TOLLS IN SUSSEX COUNTY AND IN FREDRICKSBURG-- THOUGH IT LOOKS AS IF THE PLAN THERE WON'T HAPPEN. WHAT ALSO REALLY ANGERS PEOPLE IN SUSSEX IS THAT THEY FEEL THEY ARE GETTING HIT BY TOLLS NO MATTER WHERE THEY GO. ONE ONE SIDE OF THE COUNTY IS 95 AND ON THE OTHER IS 460, WHERE TOLLS HAVE ALSO BEEN PROPOSED. JASON MARKS 10 ON YOUR SIDE THE FEDERAL HIGHWAY CONDITIONAL APPROVAL TO GOVERNOR MCDONNELL'S PROPOSAL FOR I-95 TOLLS IN SEPTEMBER OF LAST YEAR IT OUTLINED STEPS THE STATE MUST TAKE BEFORE GETTING FINAL PERMISSION TO BEGIN COLLECTING MONEY. TONIGHT WASHINGTON IS STILL REVIEWING THE STATE'S
