We live in NC and travel to Mass several times a year.
We were quite surprised last summer to find the toll booths gone on the Mass Pike.
On our way there several weeks later I received a bill in the mail and I decided to look into paying it, since it was more cost then if I had a transponder. Even though it was only a bit more, just the idea of it irked me.
I checked and found they had recriprocal greements with Maine and NH. and that was all, but after thinking about it I felt that I had a moral obligation to pay and sent in a check.
About a week later I got another bill with a late payment attached.
It was post marked the same date that I mailed the payment.
I wrote on the bill that I had sent it in and wasted another stamp.
Several weeks later I got another bill for my return and they not only had the original late payment, but added more to that.
Needless to say I threw that away and will never pay again there unless I go through a toll booth.
One of the good things I did for myself and family was move out of that state years ago!
