This is huge news if you are a New Jersey commuter with an E-ZPass. In a day and age when every single thing is getting more expensive, there is a real possibility that hard-working New Jersians will finally catch a break.

We have all been in this situation where you do a little road trip around the Garden State and in a few weeks, you see a nice little letter from one of the toll authorities, whether it's the turnpike, parkway, or expressway, saying that you owe some money.
