					<description><![CDATA[&lt;span&gt;&quot;WSTC is now considering raising the minimum I-405 toll from $10 one way to $18. Furthermore, they are considering creating three separate zones, meaning a person could pay $54 for a one way trip through all three zones if implemented.&quot;&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;span&gt;&quot;The cost to collect tolls under the present set of scenarios runs from 83 to 86 percent.&quot;&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;span&gt;&quot;&#160;a 2 cent gas tax for 10 years would raise $500 million, in essence delivering more than three of the four tolling scenarios.&quot;&#160;&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;span&gt;Clearly a gas tax is a better way to raise $.&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;span&gt;Seems like the out of state tolling companies who stand to make a fortune are the ones who will benefit at the expense of road users including freight in both WA and OR.&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;span&gt;We need legislators whose top priority is to keep our economy , and residents working. Roads are the lifeblood of our communities.&lt;/span&gt;
