"Bridge officials set to slam brakes on FasTrak cheats," a San Francisco Chronicle headline warns. But the article smells like a PR campaign to convince drivers who zip through the gateless toll booths without a pass that something very, very bad is about to happen to them. "FasTrak cheats could face late-night visits from folks who would boot their cars or tow them away." That's presuming FasTrak bureaucrats can get new legislation passed. Translation: The electronic toll-collection technology doesn't work as it was supposed to, and they can't fix it. FasTrak officials told the Chron they're trying to get California's state Franchise Tax Board to use its legal clout to collect unpaid bridge tolls for them. For that, I'm sure the Paultards would put FasTrak up against the wall right after the Federal Reserve System.
