Tom Fahey's column in the New Hampshire Union Leader this morning revealed an interesting part of the new tax increase: The change buckets are going to go. And, guess what will replace them? Yup, 200 new part-time tolltakers. So, let's say, on average that the part-timers make $15,000 per year. That would be another $3 million in expenses. This doesn't include workman's comp expenses or anything else. So, it is safe to estimate that more than 1/5th of the new revenue from the $14 million toll increase will go to new employees, not road repair. What a joke.
