Section 2. This act is hereby declared to be an emergency | 9 |
measure necessary for the immediate preservation of the public | 10 |
peace, health, and safety. The reason for such necessity is that | 11 |
the Ohio Turnpike Commission has scheduled an increase in turnpike | 12 |
toll rates effective January 1, 2012, and the resulting inflated | 13 |
rates will endanger communities along the turnpike as traffic | 14 |
diverts to non-toll roads and also will imperil economic recovery | 15 |
in those regions of the state and industries that depend upon the | 16 |
turnpike for cost-effective travel and commerce. | 17 |
