This year I have "extra" good I hope you will consider bringing me a few things I have been wishing for "Please help us stop an unwanted turnpike build so that this is not our last Christmas in our home." Thank you for everything you do and for making this season so magical. Sincerely, "A Believer in Miracles"

This is just the beginning of the Oklahoma toll increases. Is Oklahoma ready to stand up and finally say enough is enough?

To our great disappointment (but not great surprise) the Council of Bond Oversight unanimously rubber-stamped OTA's bond request.

Our state and government institutions should work to protect its people, not corporations and profits - sadly this is not what happened here.

Too Many Red Flags to Approve a 1.5 Billion Dollar OTA Bond Issue Without Due Diligence There are just too many red flags for the Council of Bond Oversight (COBO) to approve the Oklahoma Turnpike Authority’s 1.5-billion-dollar bond issue request

Screenshot of Council of Bond Oversight Agenda which includes as Item 5: Discussion and possible action regarding approval of the request from the Oklahoma Turnpike Authority to issue up to $1,175,860,725 Second Senior Revenue Bonds, Series 2025A and up to 56,070,000 Refunding Second Senior Revenue Bonds, Series 2025B

The Oklahoma COBO appears to be planning to rubber stamp a new $1.5 billion Turnpike Authority bond offering with no due diligence, putting investors at risk and unfairly penalizing drivers with exponential toll increases for projects that are not economically viable and appear doomed to fail.
