The firm or firms to which they made their pitch would presumably seek to participate in some way — which is not discussed in the plan — in the development of the Democratic governor’s proposed system of electronic tolls that would collect hundreds of millions of dollars a year. Major engineering firms have made large sums of money performing studies and planning for construction of such tolling systems in other states. There’s no mention in the proposal of who would pay the consultants’ team, but it appears that at least part of the money would come from firms that might be involved in the tolling project.
