Dear Governor Rendell: 
  Senate Members
 House of Representative Members

 I am writing to urge you not to sell or lease the Pennsylvania Turnpike. Such  actions would hurt the citizens of Pennsylvania and Turnpike workers . By turning  over control of the turnpike to a private corporation or a foreign conglomerate  means surrendering future toll  revenue for a short-term budget fix. To sell off the Turnpike demonstrates a lack  of political will to properly run a moneymaking operation and accountability for  employing government resources for the good of the state.  Patrick Bauer the  Indiana House's Democratic leader made a perceptive point about Indiana's toll road to an Australian- Spanish partnership when he Stated: in five maybe 10 years all the money is gone,and the tolls keep raising and the money keeps  flowing  into foreign coffers. (Foreign Companies Buy U.S. Roads, Bridges.  Associated Press 07/15/06 
 
 No Public  Official has a right to place roads and  bridges  that belong to the   citizens on the open market.
 
 I am opposed to  foreign ownership of our  turnpikes bridges 
and   other transportation assets.



  Sincerely,
