Southern lawmakers oppose turnpike toll hike plan
At a Princeton meeting Sen Don Caruth and four Mercer County lawmakers questioned the Shady Springs exit toll increases set to begin Jan 1 2006. They said the Virginia Parkways authority operates autonomously and may fund economic development from tolls while out-of-state users bear most costs. They urged studying tolls finances and spending before approving more funds or restructuring the authority.
