DON'T DOUBLE DIP IN DRIVERS' POCKETS TO PAY FOR ROADS By The Hill Jim Burg and David Congdon Infrastructure investment is a rare Beltway issue where both sides can find common ground.

A new toll on an existing interstate forces a motorist to pay two taxes for that same road: a gas tax and a toll tax.

Furthermore, tolls will force truck drivers and motorists to use secondary roads to avoid
