Very Interesting. I look forward to the balance
of your series. The GNS series on Monetization
implied that the Turnpike was flush with cash &
could comfortably cover their 5 billion of debt.
How much of the expansion can their cash trove
of 1.3 billion pay for?
Where does the Parkway want to expand lanes?
What is the estimated cost of same-gross & permile?
Aren’t they underwater big time from the Raritan River Bridge expansion? How much of that is in the 5.0? billion debt?
The GNS claimed the Parkway-Turnpike merger has
yet to save money? Will your series cover that
issue?
