Guest Post by State Representatives DJ Bettencourt and Carolyn Webber

In last Sunday’s Eagle-Tribune article: DOT commissioner committed to I-93 toll, New Hampshire Transportation Commissioner George Campbell reiterated his support for installing toll booths on Interstate 93 in Salem and his intention to continue the authorization application process with the federal government. While his sentiments are not new, they were his most explicit. In response to this story we have received hundreds of inquiries and concerns from the public. Many are rightly outraged and bewildered as to why their communities along the I-93 corridor, which represents a Golden Goose of revenue production for New Hampshire, would be subjected to this burden.
