Toll is a Four Letter Word for TAX! Stop Toll Abuse Now! Special Guest North Carolina Representative Robert Brawley (R) adamantly opposes toll taxes and will do what it takes to shut-down toll roads in North Carolina. Rep Brawley resigns as chair of the House Finance Committee. In his resignation letter addressed one of his great concerns; Rep Brawley stated "Toll Roads are just another way of taxing.
