Tolls are going up in New Jersey.   Here's the story from the Associated Press: WOODBRIDGE, N.J.  --   The New Jersey Turnpike Authority voted Friday to raise tolls in two phases on the turnpike and Garden State Parkway. The first hike comes in December, and the second comes in 2012.

Gov. Jon Corzine has already signed off on the increases, which were opposed by many citizens and trucking groups.

A drive along the full length of the Turnpike, which currently costs $6.45, will more than double to $13.75 by 2012.

Driving the Parkway from top to bottom also will more than double in four years.

The increases are being made to fund road and bridge repairs as well as partially fund a new rail tunnel into New York City.

Kathy! I spent the weekend wrestling and hitting the beach in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. It was a great couple of days, but over way too soon. I see that the people were not heard, or maybe not even given a chance on the toll increases, as they seemed to already know the tolls were going up regardless. The worst part is, we probably wont even see these repairs finished for several years, and we start paying now. At least gas prices are going down for now... :)

I know the tolls are a bummer. And were excited about any gas cheaper than $3.00 a gallon. Its still bad. Are you close enough to take public transportation to work, or are you stuck with the tolls everyday? That would stink. Even E-Z pass isn't free…I guess there are always more positive things to focus on.

Good morning Foxy Kathy!! I saw Dr. Sapna checking on your throat yesterday...I guess we shouldnt joke about the fake sore throats for awhile. Anyway, im sure youre tired of seeing me on your blog by now, just had a quick question. How do I go about meeting Ines in person to say hi and maybe get a picture? Addison told a guy in the chatroom to come to the studio..but Im not the guy to show up and stand outside waiting...LOL. I think he just wanted to see if the guy would do it. I might not get as lucky as you to have dinner with her, ;) but if you talk to her, could u mention it and see if she has any public appearances or any suggestions?? Hope you can enjoy the weather the next couple of days. Take care!!

Kathy Scott is back and begining to spew his sick nonsense again on Christina's new blog. I there any way to get rid of him for good? I think that he is violating your stations own blogging rules. This man is a threat and an online stalking. He's having a negaqtive effect on the rest of our blogging family. This man is ruining a good thing for the rest of us!
Thanks Kathy.
Bob

Bob, you beat me to it. I was so upset to see him back and now hes actually bad mouthing Christina instead of just you and I. I thought he was banned, but I guess he found his way back. Kathy, im sure you guys have a ton to worry about, but if you find time to take care of this guy, we would all be very thankful. Talk to you next week.
