this deal is a lease... this came about partly becuase of the st00pid I69 (nafta highway) Indiana has no money for it and this way they will.. the thing is that we already blew more money on that project then any other state that this highway runs through and not one drop of concrete has been poured.. the fight has been long and tough for all sides.. this is not as done deal as it may seem.. our red governor slipped a fast one here but there are at least two different lawsuits going on and the deal can't really be done untill those clear..
the other thing is that it is once again being sold as creating jobs for hoosiers.. bs.. the money is going to get syphoned off to spain not indiana.. i80 is the busiest highway in the world thus the tolls are also going up.. this is not a good deal for anybody but maybe the short term solution without consideration to long term effects. it's just another elephant sitting on us all.
