The carbonistas have arrived, overtly, in Massachusetts. Your state is next...

Logan parking costs may soar
Governor proposes adding $2 'carbon fee' to lot, garage rates

In the same month that Logan International Airport hiked its parking rates by $1, Governor Deval Patrick is asking for another $2 parking "carbon fee" as part of his transportation overhaul filed this week.

<snip>

Patrick's transportation secretary, James A. Aloisi Jr., said he will be glad if people stop parking at the airport and use public transportation to get there, a sentiment that has led several environmental groups to endorse the parking fee.

"It should not be inexpensive to park at convenient facilities in the middle of Logan Airport," Aloisi said. "We need people to understand that there are better ways to get to Logan."

<snip>

Aloisi's comments, and Patrick's proposal, represent a shift for Massachusetts, just 14 months after the state finished building a $15 billion tunnel project designed in large part to improve driving access to Logan.

<snip>

"I anticipate that the naysayers and the people who want to stay in isolation will try to raise all kinds of concerns and questions," Aloisi said. "They're going to make it difficult because people don't like their cozy little worlds disturbed."

Aloisi said that with "real reform . . . cozy, little worlds don't exist anymore."

Hmm, shouldn't that really read, "with real communism. . . cozy, little worlds don't exist anymore?"
