There reall...I did mention ferry tolls on March 18. There really isn't much of an argument on Ocracoke. As you might imagine, there is little support for tolls among residents. DOT representatives were on the island a few days ago with a questionaire. Most islanders were dismayed that there was no place to indicate "no tolls" as a choice. Many folks simply drew a line across the questions and wrote "no tolls." I have not heard any more news about this issue. Maybe some of our readers have.Philiphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01572532603071469799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6559692.post-3971310351959358542011-04-21T15:49:25.455-04:002011-04-21T15:49:25.455-04:00What is going on with the ferry tolls.

And I would think the realtors would consider sending a check to maintain the charm that folks seek when visiting the island.
