West Virginia Turnpike tolls under fire in Senate debate
Southern residents push to end tolls on the West Virginia Turnpike and shift funding away from the Parker Parkway Authority. Delegate Marty Gearheart argues for eliminating tolls to cut a proposed 90 million dollar budget, reinstate funds to the Division of Highways, and invest in southern counties once the original bonds are paid off in 2019. Supporters say tolls burden households and local businesses while opponents warn toll revenue supports highway maintenance.
