Living in the People's Republic of Kalifornia, I am well aware of the fact that, at some point, a person does have a responsibility to leave a liberal hell hole. Decisions have consequences. Liberals don't know that, but the rest of us should know what to expect.
That's a very good question....not ignorance
Several states began building turnpikes in the late 40's and early 50's. To pay for them, they established publicly owned corporations called turnpike authorities which would sell bonds to raise the funds to build the turnpikes. The bonds would then be paid off with toll revenue. This occurred before the establishment of the Interstate System. Interstate funding law forbade the use of federal funds on the construction of toll facilities, but it allowed the Federal Highway Adminiastration to sign the routes along tunrpikes. Thus, I-90 was routed along the New York State Thruway and the MassPike.
