Ohio has scrapped plans to sell the turnpike and will do the following as described in a July 17 newspaper article. Monday, the turnpike commission authorized the sale of $1 billion in bonds to fund highway projects in Ohio. The bonds would be paid by 2.7 percent toll increases annually for 10 years.
Ouch!
Made several trips to Michigan 2 years ago. Some of that travel on the Turnpike. Nice service plazas to be sure, but the price of diesel was a killer.......... Thought Ohio was going to sell. Florida did, run by private enterprise now and a lot of the road surface in places still sucks. But the service plazas are nice.......:R
