“You can read how this practice is costing the Florida taxpayers more money than it is worth, doing this. “
The toll roads are not really run by the State. They are managed by a holding company which “reports” to the state. Sort of like a public utility without the transparency.
The main toll road in Tampa collects $300,000 - $400,000 in tolls each day. This company gets all of that money to pay employees and maintain the road. Of course any large projects requires federal funding for some reason. I’m sure all that money is well managed though.
ROTFLOL!
