Rob,
Please excuse the condition of I-80. IT is currently being neglected
to get more funds for the PA turnpike . Funds it does not need.
This is our governor at work. HE has cost us more in the state of PA
than any other governor in history. If you would have taken the
turnpike you would have paid more then double the tolls of 4 years
ago.
