The Turnpike

Looks like some initial support from the PA House Republicans on the Turnpike Lease:
Some House Republicans prefer the lease over Act 44, last year's transportation funding law, which is financed by turnpike revenue and new tolls on Interstate 80. Rendell said he would scrap tolls on I-80 if he could lease the turnpike.

Limited-government advocates such as the Commonwealth Foundation praised it. "We can generate more money at a lower cost to our taxpayers and toll payers, which is certainly a win-win to me," said Matt Brouillette, the foundation's president.
