VDOT and the proposed EZ Pass monthly fee

VDOT is taking public comment regarding their proposed $1 monthly fee.
http://www.virginiadot.org/newsroom/e-zpass_info.asp
HEre is my email to them:
Quote
To whom it may concern,
If VDOT adopts a $1 monthly fee, I will cancel my VDOT EzPass and subscribe to one from another state that does not have a monthly fee.
There is no legal impediment to doing so and since VDOT offers no discount for Virginia drivers or charge to out-of-state EZPass holders, there is no reason for me to accept a non-usage related fee. If you want to cover your budget gap, how about cutting salaries 5% and make people buy their own coffee?
There are plenty of unemployed people out there right now who would be happy to fill the spot of someone unhappy with a small salary cut.
Illinois, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Rhode Island have no monthly fee and all will happily accept my money to open an account.

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the air—these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

What bugs me the most about these fees is that they start small, to make it seem like it's not a big deal, but then they just increase constantly. Reminds me of Metro...

My brother fills that description, where should he apply?

First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me--and there was no one left to speak for me.

Mass will send you one without question.
Ironic. Actually, if I have to get one from out of state I'll probably choose Maine. They deserve the money more than Mass. Mass will just piss it down the drain.

Don't argue with idiots. They'll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

5 cents? Hell, add $1. Those people are holding up traffic.
