Our Mission We strive to cover all the news and entertainment important to the people of Green River. Our entire staff takes part in the de- cision-making process of what appears in these pages and all content is locally generated. If you have a story idea, please contact any of the people you see here. The Star editorials, which appear under the title “Our View,” are written from the position of the newspaper, usually with the influence of several people, and in the hope that they will carry the weight of our 100-plus years of leadership.

A12 State www.greenriverstar.com Thursday, April 1, 2021 I-80 toll proposal tabled By Tom CoulTer Wyoming Tribune Eagle Via Wyoming News Exchange

CHEYENNE — A bill that would have autho- rized a long-term plan to set up an Interstate 80 tolling program was tabled by a legislative com- mittee Tuesday, meaning the proposal will not be considered on the House floor during the remain- der of the Legislature’s general session. Senate File 73, which won narrow final approv- al from the Senate last week, would have set in motion the development of a master I-80 tolling plan from the Wyoming Department of Trans- portation, which faces annually unmet needs in its department totaling more than $300 million, according to a recent report. Bill sponsor Sen. Cale Case, R-Lander, pre- sented his proposal to the House Transportation, Highways and Military Affairs Committee on Tuesday, arguing that I-80 tolls could solve many of the state’s road funding woes and make the interstate “a true asset to our nation’s transconti- nental transportation system.” “I am terrified of what’s going to happen to Wyoming if we don’t keep our infrastructure up, if we can’t maintain that road, if we can’t begin to partially solve the big revenue and expenditure problem of the state,” Case told the committee. “It could make Wyoming kind of a ghost town.” Case reminded the committee that newly built tolling systems are not like the old ones that had large tollbooths stationed every so often along a highway. Instead, the I-80 tolling system would operate with electronic license plate readers, like the E-470 toll road near Denver. WYDOT Director Luke Reiner explained his Representative Mark Baker (R-Green River) listens to testimony Tuesday during the House Transporta- department’s financial struggles to the committee tion Committee Tuesday.
