What is it ? It's a toll booth. No, how much is it wiseass ?
Massachusetts Governor Duval Patrick tried a similar move a couple of years ago on Easter. Ordered all the toll booths to have skeleton crews on the busiest Sunday of the year. This was to "persuade everyone to join the EZpass program" Funny part was he got stuck in the 5 hour delay and was pissed off. Then they tried to blame the toll collectors for calling in sick, which wasn't any. Though I can't believe anyone showed knowing what was facing them. Mothers Day and Easter are really heavy traffic days with sunday drivers everywhere.
The public was furious ! they got even madder when they blamed the collectors. Public wasn't buying that line of **** for a second. The memo that ordered every interchange down to minimum, no exceptions, no OT to be called, came to light. They were exposed. LOL that the Governor got stuck in the middle of it. (the gridlock, that is)
