Even crazier
Our state legislature wants to ban tolls on bicyclists and pedestrians using bridges or roads. It's only fair, I guess. It's not like they're using the bridge, so why should the have to pay for it?
Oh, wait, that's not the argument. The argument is... uh... Ah, I see, bicyclists/pedestrians put less wear and tear on the bridge. Excellent! Then let's charge bicyclists/pedestrians a smaller toll!
No, that's what's being opposed. Um... Oh, we want to encourage people to be physically active. Therefore, if you're physically active while using roads and bridges, you don't have to pay for them. And once we reach a utopia where everyone is physically active, roads and bridges will magically maintain themselves.
Or... uh...
