Commentary Review, Toll.

I'm reviewing Grabriela Guadarrama, "Toll talk, we need a small loan of 30 billion dollars" article. Guadarrama's article focused on tolls and how Texas is wanting to build more even if it means being 30 billion dollars in debt, or more. Guadarrama focuses her view on how she doesn't agree with adding more tolls because of how costly it gets for us who pay weekly for them. She did a great job stating her opinion from the beginning and keeping that opinion throughout her blog. This story interested me because i never really thought of tolls as a bothering thing, but more as a better choice to skip traffic and go at 85mph. Although i agree with tolls being pricey, and the option of less stops, i don't quite agree on removing all of them. Mainly because if we decide to remove them and open them to everyone for free, tolls will be another I35 and honestly i wouldn't want that. Tolls have been a life saver for me in the sense that it only takes me 30 min to get to Buda and visit my pregnant sister on rush hour, instead of an hour and a half in I35. For this, i wouldn't mind paying my 11 dollars a month for the 6 trips back and forth to Buda.

This blog was great in teaching others of the pros and cons of tolls and where the toll money that we pay each month go to. I agree with there being enough tolls and how tolls should lower on how many times we should get charged on for one road.
