Big Dig toll diversion suit loses again

The law suit against diversion of Turnpike (I-90) monies to the untolled Big Dig (I-93) in Boston by wellknown class action lawyer Jan Schlichtmann has been rebuffed again in the courts. An appeal against an earlier ruling for the Turnpike by county superior court judge Herman Smith was this week upheld by an appeals court which characterized Smith's ruling as "a thorough opinion."

COMMENT: Schlichtmann's case is ten years too late. The arrangements for use of Turnpike tolls on the Big Dig were made by the state legislature and governor way back in 1999 - when moustaches were all the rage - and should have been challenged then - editor.
