good.
the fact that they have to make it an actual amendment is funny. when you have ing assholes like Rick Perry and his cronies in charge, I guess its what you have to do though.
Maybe this will spawn a new line of practice for attorneys. "Burdened by HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS OF UNPAID TOLLS? Call me, I guess. man, I don't know if I can get you off"

I wonder how closer they would be to meeting goals if they were actually able to collect all owed tolls.
At least its not basically getting ready to go under by under use, like the South portion.
Industrial Activity pays extra taxes to the state in the form of Severance Taxes.
All that money goes into Rainy Day Fund.
So yes, I would expect the Rainy Day fund to take care of road damage caused by Industrial uses when the Industrial industries put the ing money there to ing start with.
So ing obtuse.
Settle for a fraction of the amount owed!
naming and shaming toll non-payers in Illinois

Pay your ing bills deadbeats.
I have zero problem with this , if you refuse to pay for services that are at cost, then you should be shamed.
I did not realize this. Thanks for the heads up.
I have run the toll road a couple of times for free when they were
doing road work on 35 in Austin. They had signs out for take the toll road
for free because of the road work. It's kind of out of the way but it's 80mph
and a DPS car hiding every mile down the road.
Don't have a toll tag but they will send you a bill in the mail when
I went to the Grand Prix track last year.
I don't mind toll roads as long as they have booths and don't send you ridiculous bills in the mail. If I use a toll road, I want to either give a dollar or two to a human being at a booth or put some quarters in a machine and be on my way. I don't want to get anything in the mail about owing 10,20, or 50 dollars for driving 5 miles on a toll road.
lol privatization of infrastructure
It's ed up. It used to be that sci-fi wrote about corporate run prisons. Need to have PPV deathmatches and we can go full on Running Man.
The first scenario is a state run road, the second is a privately run road.
LOL, GOP
Privatization FAIL: Firm that runs Indiana Toll Road files for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy
The company that operates the Indiana Toll Road filed for bankruptcy on Sunday, though Indiana Gov. Mike Pence said in a statement Monday drivers of the route through northern Indiana can expect “business as usual.”Debt-ridden ITR Commission Co., a spawn of the Spanish-Australian company Cintra-Macquarie, filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Chicago in a prepackaged plan to restructure its approximate $6 billion debt.
The company in 2006 paid $3.8 billion for a 75-year lease of the road that runs between the Illinois and Ohio state lines, but the toll revenue failed to meet company expectations.
