From the Courier:
A bill filed in the Kentucky General Assembly would permit unique arrangements between private companies and state government to pay for roads and bridges.
Rep. Sannie Overly, a Paris Democrat and majority caucus chair, is a sponsor of the legislation, along with Rep. Leslie Combs, D-Pikeville.
House Bill 456 would allow Kentucky to use “public-private partnerships” — arrangements that can include, for example, companies assuming the financing, design and operations of a road in exchange for collecting toll revenue or other payments. The bill allows the partnerships with adjoining states.
