I just wanted to know why this damn yankee Ron Bellonio contacts a TV station instead of working it out through DOT. That poor shmuck just blew his 15 minutes of fame on much ado about nothing.

When you buy an annual toll pass (Palmetto Pass), you are supposed to list on your account the tag numbers of all your vehicles. As cars pass through the toll plaza, a computer program scans license tags and when a vehicle blows through the Palmetto-Pass lane with no transponder, the computer captures the tag number and cross-references it with the data base of people who have paid for annual passes. Believe it or not SCDOT is using this modern approach rather than hiring some state employee to look up tag numbers. Problem is, every now and then somebody forgets to list a tag on his Palmetto-Pass acount, so he gets a nastygram saying pay up. In this case, obviously the computer did not recognize the fact that DMV has issued a 77 tag (albeit with differing tag designs) to two different people. Tell the guy in Mount Pleasant to get used to it. The Libertarians want to put tolls EVERYWHERE!

Will someone let Bellonio in on the secret please. The legislature rips us a new one every time they make a vote, even if it is only a buck and a quarter. Go Cocks!
