Logan parking costs may soar
In the same month that Logan International Airport hiked its parking rates by $1, Governor Deval Patrick is asking for another $2 parking "carbon fee" as part of his transportation overhaul filed this week.
The carbon fee, described on page 137 of Patrick's 141-page bill, would that mean a 20- or 30-minute trip to pick up a relative at Logan could cost $6 in parking alone, not including tunnel tolls, which could rise to as much as $7 if legislators fail to pass Patrick's other proposal to raise the gas tax. Three hours in a Logan garage would cost $18; all-day parking in a garage would run $26.
Way to drive up tourism and bring in business traffic....make it more expensive to be there. Idiots.

Christ, it's already $24/day. I take a shuttle bus from Dover or Portsmouth to Logan in only about 15-20 minutes longer than it takes me to drive myself for $43 round trip.
Go ahead, Deville--keep screwing your state over. Jack up those taxes, buddy! Just give us a couple of days so we can seal the border first.
Sincerely,
New Hampshire.
