I would like to know how much of the anticipated 3 million that is going out of state to the company that runs the toll lanes is coming back in the way of campaign donations to the people who shoved this down our throats. It would be interesting to note the findings. In my line of work it has always been follow the money and I would like someone to follow the money back and report on how much our elected representatives received from this company
