......75 cents!
Eliminating the highway tokens at the Hooksett toll booths was the one main reason for the overall revenue downturn! I actually noticed hundreds of angry NH residents from southern NH that were backing up, and/or making a U-turn out on Rt 93 just before the toll booths once they learned that what used to cost them 37 1/2 cents had been doubled up to 75 cents. Off they went west to Vermont, which can be accessed toll-free.
The long stretch of hot, rainy and humid weather from May 15 thru August 7, and $2.92 gasoline had absolutely nothing to do with the revenue downturn!
