Default Out of state EZ Pass

The only problem with having a non-NH EZ pass is the fact that you pay the full toll in NH. I have an EZ Pass from the NY Thruway authority and get the discount when using the Tappan Zee, George Washington Bridge, and the Triboro bridge authority bridges to Long Island. I also get the off-hour discounts on the NJ Turnpike and Garden State Parkway. Yet, because I don't have a NH EZ Pass I pay full price on the Everett & Spaulding Tpke. as well as at the Hampton Tolls on I-95! I think this is unconstitutional. Why do we have to pay full fare in NH while travelling on U.S. Interstates? Aren't these federal highways??? The NY Thruway authority did not charge me anything for the transponder and yet they can afford to allow discounts for any EZ Pass user no matter what the state of origin. NH is ripping us off.
