The editorial “Having PennDOT run Pa. turnpike” opines “Legislation introduced in the state House this week would abolish the five-member Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission and shift responsibility for the turnpike and its 2,000-member unionized work force to the state Transportation Department….For years, the Turnpike Commission has been dogged by allegations of political-patronage abuses, as well as favoritism in awarding lucrative contracts.”
WATCHDOG: The New Era editors remind us of the “Little girl with a curl in the middle of her forehead.” When they are good, such as in this editorial, they are “very, very good”; when they are “bad”, they are “horrid.” A wag of the tail for this excellent commentary.
