The Star writes about a pretty lengthy list of problem privatized highways, and notes that Mitch may be wildly optimistic in how much Indiana would get to privatize the toll road. So why do it?
"With fuel prices rising and traffic congestion worsening, Gov. Mitch Daniels wants to turn over two of Indiana's interstates to private hands.
Leasing out tolling and concessions rights on the roads, the Republican governor believes, will spare motorists who are in no mood to hear about a new levy at the pump. Privatizing also frees up money for other road needs."
Once again Mitch is playing his shell game with our taxes, we continue to pay more for less while he tries to claim he has no role in the new taxes. Once these road are privatized we can expect the tolls to double at the start. But hey the road are privately held, what can Mitch do about it?
