Feb. 23--The state is cracking down on Ga. 400 toll violators. And the public is not amused.

As the issue made its way through the state legislature Wednesday, fiery e-mails, blog posts and talk radio calls about running the toll at Ga. 400 without paying flew through Atlanta airwaves and cables. A man identifying himself as Dennis Larson, the state's toll runner-in-chief, even told a syndicated radio show that he had done it as a protest.

He owes $13,234.50, the most owed by any violator, according to the State Road and Tollway Authority.
