Today a candidate for governor for Nevada made it big time on Fox News. No, it's not Brian Sadoval or Rory No Last Name. It's Gino DeSimone and he proposes to let drivers drive as fast as 90 mph on the rural highways, for a fee.
From Fox News: "Nonpartisan candidate "Gino" DiSimone believes people would pay for the privilege to drive up to 90 mph on designated highways -- and fill the state's depleted coffers.
DiSimone calls his idea the "free limit plan." He estimates the plan would bring in $1 billion a year.
First, vehicles would have to pass a safety inspection. Then vehicle information would be loaded into a database, and motorists would purchase a transponder."

Of course, the NHP is against this because it actually lose money. DeSimone proposes a $25 fee per day. A speeding ticket can cost up to $150 or more. They also think that it will cause more accidents. I doubt that because people will concentrate more on the road and they will get to the destination quicker and won't be as tired. And it won't raise $1 billion a year. Must be a typo.
In Nevada, it is very boring driving. For Wisconsin people, think of driving Milwaukee to Superior and never going through a town more than 5,000 people and most towns are 50-100 miles apart.
