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,
