American Infrastructure ....AKA Corruption Boulevard

from American Statesman Hosted by American Statesman

American Infrastructure - Highway Robbery! Toll Roads.....Taxation without representation "Article on FDOT project to connect the Jacksonville East I-295 (Buckman Bridge) bypass to I-95 and extend capacity by Tolling Express Lanes. (There is loads of real estate available from original development)" "Of note last paragraphs .. Local Resident questioned why "they" couldn't simply make it a "free"way as Federal Tax Dollars pay 75% of the bill anyway." "The FDOT response" "Through those studies (by road engineers) and working with the Federal Highway Administration, the determination was made that the best option for expanding capacity would be express lanes." "My Cynical Opinion refers me to the Florida Investigative Reporter Eric Barton's story of how the Governor brought in Mr. Poole & the Reason Foundation (?) to "plan" roadway expansion as the real cause for the decision to toll our system of "free"ways." http://fcir.org/2014/09/14/floridas-toll-lane-boom/ TimcHoughtaling http://jacksonville.com/news/metro/2015-01-04/story/mandarian-residents-see-i-295-edge-ever-closer-homes-bypassed-benefit#.VKq0GJMFUe0.gmail Response from Terri Hall....Yep, Bob Poole is behind all of it. Why would government turn down a revenue stream they don’t have to ask permission for and that voters can’t control?
