The Boston Globe recognizes that there's a land west of Worcester:
The trouble is that the Turnpike Authority has a $2.5 billion debt and no obvious source or revenue other than tolls to pay for it. Day by day its credit rating inches closer to junk bond status. It needs a cash infusion. But residents west of Boston unfairly bear the brunt of paying for the Big Dig, which also benefits drivers of Interstate 93 and the state's business climate as a whole.The solution is easy: let everybody using the Ted Williams tunnel pay $5 per use to save 15 minutes on their commute. Ba-bing.
