The fewer government owned and operated roads the better. If someone wants to build a toll road on their own land, with their own money, well that is fine with me. The digest states SB-206 sets forth certain guidelines governing the construction and operation of privately operated toll roads upon public highways in this State. It would permit the NDOT to lease portions of state highways to politically connected firms. You know, the same sort of transparent and competitively bid process used to award airport concessions and school lunch contracts. Pure Republican-style, corporate welfare graft. It would create new toll-taker job opportunities for friends of politicians (who can't even qualify as change-makers at casinos), new sources of campaign cash for politicians; nothing new for motorists except greasy diamond lanes.
