I have not been to Florida for 20 years or so. Probably never will go again. I'm sure it is fine place, I'm just not interested enough to go back. Plenty of other places interest me more.

Many places are selling roadways to private corporations. The state/municipality gets a one time infusion of cash, so their balance sheet shows they don't have to raise taxes in the current term. Then the private corporation gets to raise their toll fees as much as they can for the next 75 or more years.
