ADVERTISEMENT The Area's Top Political Talk Show! Volpe Report SUNDAY MORNINGS 10:30 AM f FOX56 FOR WHOM THE TURNPIKE TOLLS The Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission lost an incredible $379 million over a five-year period due to what officials call "leakage". In the year after the Commission laid off toll collectors, a whopping $104 million was lost. Freshly-minted Democrat Pennsylvania Senator Marty Flynn (D-22) said his back arched up straight when he heard those numbers in a hearing before the Senate Transportation Committee, one of the committees on which he sits. Senator Flynn is the featured guest on the Volpe Report this Sunday at 10:30 a.m. on FOX56. By law, according to Senator Flynn, the Commission does not have to report to the legislature. The considerable amount of money lost was discovered, not by accountants but, rather, by a reporter who filed a Freedom of Information Request to liberate the damaging loss information from the Commission. Flynn last year won a special election to fill the Senate seat vacated by Senator John Blake, who took a post with U.S. Rep. Matt Cartwright. On Sunday, Senator Flynn will discuss how the money loss occurred and his proposed legislation to plug the leakage. On Tuesday, tune into FOX56 News at 10 between 10 and 10:30 p.m. for Volpe's Views as Chuck comments on what led cable news pioneer CNN to an 80 percent loss of viewership and the removal of CNN President Jeffrey Zucker PA.
