Quote of the Day
“Simply put, and I put this out there, if tolls are a good idea for my district, my region, I believe we should explore the possibility of expanded tolling, including possibly at our borders," Spilka said. "Our best ideas won't matter if we can't find a way to make a 21st century transportation infrastructure a reality — and find a way to pay for it.”
