I-80 Toll update
WYOMING
(wpr) -
In our state, especially in southern Wyoming, many people are worried about the idea to make part of interstate 80 a toll road. A legislative committee has been looking at how to make up for the loss of federal funds to maintain the interstate. The argument is that Wyoming takes money away from other highways to fix our interstates, especially 80. A big supporter of the concept comes from a part of the state where generally folks don't like taxes Gillette. But Senator Michael Von Flatern has worked hard on this issue as the co-chairman of the legislature's transportation committee. His committee recently approved a bill that would further look into his idea. He tells Wyoming Public Radio's Bob Beck what he is up to.
