Gov. Ed Rendell has proposed leasing the Pennsylvania Turnpike to a private, overseas company for 75 years, which could provide the Commonwealth with $1 billion per year to apply to transportation needs, especially the need to maintain the state's many bridges.
The General Assembly expects to take up the lease question in September
Do you favor Pennsylvania leasing the turnpike to a private entity?
Yes
Only if funds are applied to public transit in addition to roadways
Only if leased to an American company.
Only if the federal government lets Pennsylvania turn Interstate 80 into a toll road.
Only if a portion of the money goes to maintain local roads and bridges.
No
Turn Interstate 80 into a toll road instead.
