[QUOTE="Raido Free America, post: 4091005, member: 45328"] I took my own advice and looked this question up! OTA was formed by statute in 1947, it is funded, by the sale of turnpike bonds, tolls, and concession fees! It is overseen by the turnpike board, appointed by the Governor, which is overseen by ODOT! Acquiring land right of ways, road and bridge construction, and maintenance, cost the same, no matter who pays from it! City, County, State, and Federal, roads and maintenance, are payed for by selling bonds, and tax payer money, no matter if the tax payer uses the road, or not! Turnpikes are payed for by the toll payers, that actually use the road!! That seems to be a more fair way to have good roads, to me? [/QUOTE]
