I recall the Ohio Turn Pike has been owned by a foreign company for many years.
How about dropping tolls altogether?
Now that’s just crazy talk!
You pay for the road and then you pay extra.
The toll road people here in Kali found that the biggest scofflaws were gubmint workers driving gubmint cars.
"How about dropping tolls?"
That's the entire point of systems like Nazi-Pass.
Government rides for free while the serfs are expected to cough it up.
You might be thinking of the Indiana Toll Road. It’s run by a concession company currently held by an Australian firm, if I remember correctly. Former Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels leased the road to a previous company in 2006.
The M. Boren in the article was Michael Boren, born 10 Mar 1806 in Kentucky and died 11 Jul 1875. He is buried in the Boren cemetery (GPS 32.313699, -96.744037) at Reagor Springs, just off of Hwy 287. The Borens moved to Texas before 1834, and to Ellis county around 1847. Michael Boren was elected Ellis county Commissioner in 1858 and was still listed in The Texas Almanac of 1869 (page 194) as one of the Ellis county Commissioners.
John Henry Streety was born 3 Apr 1842 in Butler county, Alabama, to William Thames Streety, Jr. and Mary Whitfield Hartley. The family had moved to Freestone county, Texas, by 1852. His father died there in 1856, his mother died in Corsicana in 1865. On 11 Feb 1864 at Freestone county, John married Louisa Emeline Jones, of Muskete, Navarro county.
Louisa was the daughter of Thomas O. Jones and Delila Walker. She was born in Navarro county 20 May 1848. She and John had two sons, William Thames and Charles Belah.
Thomas and Delila Jones had a son, William J., who was born in 1845 in Conway county, Arkansas. He married Annie Elizabeth Gammage 14 Apr 1864 in Freestone county. They had a daughter, Mattie Bell, who was born 13 Jul 1865, in Oakwood in Freestone county and died 21 Jan 1934 in Fort Worth.
Mattie Bell married Benjamin Bascomb Kimbell 12 Nov 1882, in Freestone county. They had a son, Kay Kimble, who was born 15 Jun 1886 in Oakwood, Leon county. Or possibly Freestone county, as the town is in both counties.
Kay Kimbell became very wealthy in Fort Worth, and was a philanthropist, especially as benefactor to the Kimbell Art Museum.
we have toll roads where I live, but they are most optional express lanes. but if I use them they cut 1/3 off my travel time.
They are illegal, even though the state Supreme court disagrees with me.
There is NOTHING that .gov can’t (and won’t) F__k Up!
Agreed.
I forgot to add the rest of the toll road survey scofflaws were the cops, judges and others who are “off the DMV books” and therefore cannot be ticketed.
In Florida, you must pay the toll balance before you can reregister your car. I’m sure other states have this program. Out of state thieves need to pay their debts. Soon they will figure a way to send balances to states and they can withhold the registration of welfare creeps.
Government Flaks up everything, don’t they?
“In Florida, you must pay the toll balance before you can reregister your car. I’m sure other states have this program. Out of state thieves need to pay their debts.”
what are gas taxes for?
BTW in your tagline says
“Florida is the freest state in the country”
sounds expensive to me.
So how did the legal action play out regarding the shooting?
That's become the American way. Tax the law abiding to pay for the scofflaws.
