CABE advocates for new state law to require true fiscal and environmental transparency for massive P3 tollway projects and stop a repeat of state efforts to ignore citizen concerns, hide critical financial data, short-circuit environmental analyses, and rush into contracts and construction on Lexus Lane boondoggles.
1.SB 843/HB67 writes into law Governor Hogan's promises about the $11 billion Luxury Lane boondoggle, like no cost to taxpayers. This is important given how many broken promises state officials have already made and 2) how often P3 tollways fell short of their promises and needed taxpayer subsidies (see Congressional Budget Office and U.S. Department of Transportation.)
2. SB361/HB485 would toughen P3 oversight and reviews and add special requirements, such as independent fiscal analyses, for transportation P3s exceeding $500 million.
