It's possible that the only people in Virginia who like Gov. Bob McDonnell's plan to put a tollbooth on Interstate 95 are in his administration.

As he looked at the piles of stuffed animals, games, bikes and books being unloaded from a Wal-mart trailer sitting outside VFW Post 622 in Petersburg, Commander George Friday smiled.

In the parking lot of the Virginia Department of Transportation's Stafford office on Deacon Road, there was a tractor-trailer with "No 95 Tolls" plastered on it.

The highway department held two meetings on the plan last week and, according to news reports, opponents have dominated the debate so far.
