We have the same issue in PA. Our big city liberal governor wants to
turn the major E-W Interstate (I-80) into a hugely bureaucratic more
expensive turnpike "to save money" because he can't figure out how to
have a balanced budget. He makes all sorts of silly claims such as 75%
of the traffic is out of state trucks but cleverly omits that all
trucking carriers must file apportioned fuel tax returns for the mileage
they run in each state.
