State Sued Over Toll Road Lease

Two separate lawsuits seek to keep the state from turning the Indiana Toll Road over to a private company. Both suits claim that leasing the Toll Road violates Indiana’s constitution. A spokesperson for Governor Daniels says the claim is “without merit.” Officials from the state and the private company signed on the dotted line yesterday. Unless the lawsuits delay the process, state officials expect the private company to take over the Toll Road by June 30th.
