(Westmoreland County, PA) Two Republican state senators want to hold people accountable for evading tolls on the Pennsylvania Turnpike. Senate President Pro Tempore Kim Ward, who represents Westmoreland County, and state Senator Judy Ward, who represents parts of central Pennsylvania, will introduce the bill, which aims to strengthen penalties for repeat toll evaders on the Pennsylvania Turnpike. This targets people who accumulate thousands of dollars in unpaid tolls at the expense of others.
