Privatized Penna. Turnpike on the way?
Rendell expects to name turnpike lessee soon – The Inky
Good news — tolls on the federally funded Interstate 80 in Pennsylvania may not happen. The bad news is the reason why they won’t happen.
Gov. Ed Rendell is still pushing to lease the Pennsylvania Turnpike which essentially transforms a public utilities into private monopoly.* I am really skeptical that these things are good long-term deals for government or consumers. I may have to start shunpiking when I head to Happy Valley.
