Senators: Turnpike Lease is Dead

The state senate's top two leaders say the proposal to lease the Pennsylvania Turnpike is dead.

Senate President Pro Tem Joe Scarnati and Majority Leader Dominic Pileggi say the proposal is a bad deal for Pennsylvania and there's no support for it in the Legislature.

Governor Ed Rendell has been calling for legislative action on the lease after federal regulators rejected a competing plan to raise transportation dollars by tolling Interstate 80.
