“With either gasoline taxes or tolls, users of roads pay for the roads. Nothing new, except for questions about how efficiently, or not, the PA Turnpike Authority does its job.”
From the article, it’s more than clear that the state looks at the Turnpike as a “Revenue Engine” to finance other crap. There is NOTHING that the Turnpike alone could do to substantially lower tolls - unless state law is changed.
As I said, with these govt. owned enterprises, their corruption for activities other than their true and intended purpose is a given.
