This is accurate from a very relevant standpoint...that is, that tourism is the highest grossing industry in Florida.
If all of those tourists weren't also sharing in the cost of the 734 miles of toll roads in this state it would be a disproportionate tax on residents - many of whom probably rarely use them. FYI, there were 143 million tourists in FL in 2024.
