Letter to the editor: Turnpike Commission's math is off
The Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission approved a 6% toll hike (“Turnpike commission hikes tolls for 12th straight year — and will until 2044,” July 16, TribLIVE). However, the increase from $1.40 to $1.50 is 7.1%, and the increase from $2.30 to $2.50 is 8.7%. So this is really almost an average 8% hike, unless the Turnpike Commission is using some sort of math that the rest of us do not understand.
