From the story: U.S. Rep. John Peterson, R-Venango County, and other politicians and business people from the Interstate 80 corridor called on the state Legislature today to repeal Act 44 of 2007, which calls for putting first-time tolls on the busy four-lane, east-west highway.
"Act 44 is the most irresponsible piece of legislation I've ever seen passed by state government,'' said Mr. Peterson, who was a state legislator before being elected to Congress. "There were no hearings and no discussion on a measure that would hurt the economy and the people who live along the I-80 corridor.''
And it was passed by a Republican-controlled state senate!
