Federal Engineer claims I'm wrong, but offers NO details.

My interview with Brett Jackson, Central Texas Turnpike Project Engineer, FHWA Texas Division:

BRETT: Perry's TxDOT to toll public highways for the first time in the U.S. (is an) INCORRECT STATEMENT.

SAL: Please provide where and when another public highway was shifted to a toll road in the U.S.

BRETT: Oh, you meant to say shifted, or you meant to say toll conversion. Is your article correct?

SAL: OK...I'll bite...name a public highway that has been tolled.

BRETT: Define a public highway

SAL: A highway for which public money has been spent and which was dedicated for public use as a freeway.

BRETT: I think you should research that a bit more. Public funds have been spent on many a toll road.

SAL: You are the one that said my statement was incorrect. You are the "professional engineer". That would lead me to believe you know of another example of where a public highway was tolled. Does tolling public highways give you more job security?

BRETT: No Reply

Brett doesn't think there is a disproportionate
economic burden on folks that have tolled expressways
compared to others with free expressways.
