for taxes, and other people's projects that i'm not concerned about. >> you pay, and have you no choice and i want to get across the bijz, i have to pay -- the bay bridge, i have to pay the toll, i can't swim. >> it is all because maryland's transportation authority is deep in debt. 53% of its budget is going to the $2.6 billion icc construction project right now. at the same time, the take at the toll plazas is down due to the economy. >> i have to pay $1.50 a month sur charge. >> maryland drivers just got hit with a $1.50 a month sur charge to have an ez pass and tolls on trucks have been hiked. still not enough. the authority projects it will need a 45% revenue increase in tolls statewide within two years just to stay even. it adds up to toll increases statewide anyway you slice it according to budget analysts. >> so the icc creates a lot of debt and now there is talk of raising tolls statewide to cover some of that debt.
