Editorial cautions against private lease of Kansas Turnpike
The editorial argues long term private control of the Kansas Turnpike risks higher tolls, reduced maintenance, and revenue instability. It notes Citigroup and Goldman Sachs proposals could inject 300 million to 3.15 billion but would threaten state budget balance and turnpike quality. It warns such a move risks turning maintenance over to private operators and shifting traffic to non toll roads.
