WTF? I didn't know about that lawsuit! Truck tolling was the smartest thing this state has done, and the opposition to it boggles my mind.

I haven't studies the lawsuit yet, but I can't wrap my head around how it could be unconstitutional.

EDIT: Ok it seems like it's discriminatory because local heavy vehicles are exempt, but not out of state ones. I still don't get it. The Newport bridge toll rate depends on residency. And even if that is deemed discriminatory, the obvious answer would be to start charging local trucks, not do away with the whole program, no?
