Voters could decide if toll roads needed

A proposed constitutional amendment would allow voters to decide whether Missouri needs toll roads. Christine McCarty has the story.

This proposal if passed could put toll ways on I-70, I-44 and some bridges. Rep. Jeff Harris, who is sponsoring the bill, says that toll roads are needed to create better roads for the Missourians who use them.

Harris added that this proposal would limit the amount of toll ways because no one wants to put toll roads across Missouri. From the state Capitol, I'm Christine McCarty.
