Advance Indiana – Major Moves = Major Fraud

Gary Welsh at Advance Indiana has a good post entitled Major Moves = Major Fraud. At issue is the idea that we can’t build I-69 to Evansville without the two new toll roads proposed by the Governor this year. Says Mr. Welsh:

Excuse me Sen. Wyss, but I’m not an idiot. When the legislature passed Major Moves last year allowing for the privatization of the Indiana Toll Road, the public was told unequivocally that the plan would allow for the construction of not only I-69 from Indianapolis to Evansville, but also a Hoosier Heartland highway from Lafayette to Fort Wayne, I-31 expressway from Indianapolis to South Bend and 2 new bridges over the Ohio River among other projects.

He likens the moving target and forgotten promises to trying to strike a deal with a mortgage broker.
