Toll Hike Hearings

Those of us who don't drive may not care, but the automobile aficionados among us are certainly interested in the issue of toll hikes on the pike. (Personally, we like the Universal Hub solution: sponsorship.) The financially troubled Turnpike Authority will be holding a series of public hearings on the topic in the coming weeks to allow citizens to voice their opinions on the matter. The schedule is as follows:
