"To be clear, I am not proposing tolls at any border," the governor said in a statement in response to comments made by MassDOT Secretary Monica Tibbits-Nutt earlier this monthGov. Maura Healey has joined a chorus of voices pushing back against an idea floated by the secretary for the Massachusetts Department of Transportationon April 10 when she talked about the need to get"aggressive" to have enough money for safe transportation in the Bay State.
“Looks like Massachusetts has found yet another way to unnecessarily take your money," the Republican governor said in a statement over the weekend."All the more reason for more Massachusetts residents to make the permanent move to New Hampshire. The Live Free or Die state continues to be the place to be.”
"Merrimack Valley kid here. Putting a toll at the NH border would have DEVASTATING impacts on our region, not just economically speaking, but also regarding the unmanageable congestion & infrastructural burden it would create on every local backroad,"."Creating a border war is not the answer and it’s definitely families within Massachusetts who would ultimately be hurt by this move — border communities count. I strongly urge the administration to reject this approach.
