Now more than 50 years old, the West Virginia Turnpike -- a part of the federal interstate highway system -- is a monument to a broken promise. The West Virginia Turnpike is back in the news, and officials are talking openly about the Turnpike's ebbing toll revenues in the wake of the nation's energy price spike. That means state government again will try to pry more cash from our fingers. Wait a minute.

Now more than 50 years old, the West Virginia Turnpike -- a part of the federal interstate highway system -- is a monument to a broken promise. In the early days of the highway, politicians promised the state one day would remove the tolls. West Virginia teachers even taught their students in the 1960s that the tolls were just temporary. |
