critique

Toll people got a good belly laugh at the Chicago Tribune recently with their headline that referred to TransCore as a "troubled" company. "Tollway sticks with troubled customer-service firm" ran the headline Dec 17.

The Wall Street Journal's columnist Thomas Frank is usually so shrill in his loonie left diatribes as to not even be annoying. Today's he's stomping around on our turf with a piece against tollroads. And actually this time Frank picks up some common critiques and is worth debating.

The FHWA's "Current Toll Road Activity in the US" report we previously wrote on concedes that errors and omissions are possible. see http://www.tollroadsnews.com/node/3950 This critique is devoted to a few we found. The most serious omission in our view is lack of discussion or listing of detollings - removals of tolls.
