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."

Ohio Governor and CEO plan to tap toll funds thwarted in state legislature


Ohio house and senate finance committees have stripped from a so-called "Jobs Bill" or "Stimulus Package" all references to tapping toll revenues of the Ohio Turnpike in a rebuff to the Governor Ted Strickland and Turnpike CEO George Distel. The Governor had argued that the Turnpike should set aside $20m a year to fund debt service on $200m which would be used to support spending by a state Public Works Commission in small make-work projects all over the state.
