How many of these toll roads were going to be sold to foreign interests with clauses that prohibited expanding roads that would compete against toll roads?
Our state gasoline tax is supposed to go for road building and repair. Some years back, I read that it was dumped into the "General Fund" as a lot of other taxes passed for specific purposes were.
That's the problem with most politicians---they forget about the promises they made when levying new taxes.
I, for one am totally opposed to toll roads and will go miles out of my way to avoid them, on principle.
They would have probably been built and managed as these are. (but don't get me to lying because some of the investors might be foreign)
