Pence hit piece??
I noticed no one has mentioned how Kaine to “save” money closed down all the Virginia rest stops. Not only did he closed them down but he had all the toilets and sinks removed. McDonald had to refurbish and reopen them again when he became governor.
No, it transcends Pence. It was and is about privatizing the roads, and that was/is actually part of the republican plan.
Gov Daniels sold the Indiana turnpike to private investors in 2006. They eventually went bankrupt and sold it to another group of private investors. The company mentioned in the article(Isolux Corsan) is made up of investors from Spain. Back in those days the two main investment groups were Macquarie from Australia and Cintra from Spain.
In Texas, it was organized as the Trans Texas Corridors
Also in 2006 there was the meeting of Bush, Fox, and Chretian and the conspiracy theorists were saying that privatizing the roads would lead to the North American Union.
