Anti-I-69 Groups Say Lease Unconstitutional

STATEHOUSE-Three anti-I-69 groups contend Governor Daniels’ proposed Toll Road Lease is not merely bad policy, but unconstitutional.

John L. Smith with the group Count Us says opponents of a new-terrain 69 will try to raise the money to sue if the lease bill passes.
