P.A. Turnpike Trying To Avoid Bankruptcy

State lawmakers are hearing warning signs about the Pennsylvania Turnpike's debt load from the state's elected fiscal watchdog. Auditor General Jack Wagner told a legislative committee Tuesday that turnpike officials are using "flim-flam'' financing and predicted the toll road could go bankrupt in a couple years.  Turnpike Chief Executive,Roger Nutt, reassured lawmakers that toll increases will allow it to avoid financial calamity. Wagner wants the General Assembly to repeal a 2007 law that is producing hundreds of millions annually for transportation projects and public transit.
