I have to pay to come home. [I Am So Annoyed]

I live on an island in Michigan where there is a pay and a free bridge. The free bridge is down for repair and will be for quite sometime. In order to go to work I have to use the pay bridge. You don't get charged leaving the island but you get charged coming onto the island. I have to pay to come home and it's stupid. I feel like if you live here you shouldn't have to pay anything. Why are we being punished for nothing? There is this thing called the bridge pass which is a card you load money on to get on the island but you still have to pay for it. I'm sorry but as long as we can prove we are residents (just look at my drivers license) we shouldn't have to pay. $5 cash or $7 with a card.
