November 23, 2018 at 12:45 amWhich locals? On the North side or the South side of the CBBT?

November 24, 2018 at 12:27 pmObviously on ESVA side. Considering ESVA is so isolated and residents cross often to see their doctors and to shop for basic needs (and even to futher their education) and because ESVA is host to two of the poorest counties in the state, a price break would be a very reasonable and generous consideration for the residents.

What’s over there (on the southern side) that we can’t live without?

November 24, 2018 at 4:44 pmYou may do well to see which way the trucks that deliver your food, clothes, and medicine come from. What an ignorant statement.

Hampton Miller says
November 25, 2018 at 2:52 amThe South side would like the tolls low so they will have more $$ to pump up the ESVA economy. Surely you can see that benefit.
Nunyr says
November 26, 2018 at 11:54 pmWhat ESVA economy? Hahahaha.

November 28, 2018 at 5:11 pmKeeping The Eastern Shore of Va poor has been profitable for the upper crust. They have kept their property taxes at a minimum and enjoyed being big fish in a very small pond.
