Cut Delaware out of Thanksgiving

Read Mike Dresser's great column today. He'll tell you about non-I-95 backroads that'll get you to New Jersey or New York. Those who follow his advice, says Dresser, will be spared "time, money, aggravation, ugliness and Delaware." Gee, I thought Mike was a good writer. Surely he knows those last two terms are redundant.

It's a crime that Delaware gets away with charging $4 in each direction for what is only an 11 mile road, that doesn't have any bridges or tunnels. Even if they only collected it in one direction that would still be a bit on the high side.

Well, there are ways to avoid the tolls, which we all become familar with as we drive up there to avoid our sales tax.

Delaware charges high toll tax from the drivers who are driving their own vehicles, also there is no flyover, bridge, or any over bridge for which they are charge high. In my opinion government have to decrease the charge and give relief to local public.
