Collect the $75-million cost of expressway by using limited tolls

Fred Eisenberg is correct in wanting to give up the $75 million
lawsuit against the federal government. The time spent on
this matter is costly. It is better not to throw any more
money at the problem.
I wonder if both the feds and the province
would concede the lawsuit is dead, then grant Hamilton permission
to put tolls on the new expressway. Keep the tolls until
the $ 75 million is collected. But do not make the tolls
so high that people would shun the new expressway. A looney
per car, a toonie per truck as an example. This is less than
a cup of coffee. Think about it.

Driving
is a privilege, not a right. And it is not a part-time
or leisure activity. It's a full-time job, requiring
effort to learn the necessary skills.
