Mr. Berwick, I/we appreciate your good intentions. However, your suggestion of a surcharge on auto insurance policies has ALREADY been done in the form of a surcharge on auto registrations; this has been phased in over three years & all that has happened is the RI GA/Governor has spent it on everything EXCEPT road repairs & maintenance! The State gas tax was just increased July 1st & will be increased every two years(indexed to inflation) with the same intention. Tolls will only force out of state truckers to find alternate routes to bypass RI; if they are only passing through this will be too easy & will likely lead to tolling of passenger cars when revenue projections anticipated aren't achieved. RI has a spending problem, NOT a revenue problem!
