The NC House sent a bill to the Senate which would put all NC Toll Authority Projects back under the control of NCDOT. We need to act quickly and let Senator Marc Basnight and Governor Purdue know that such a bill could jeopardize the Mid-Currituck Sound Bridge Project. The Mayor and Town Council have already advised the Governor, Senator Basnight, and Representative Spear that they oppose such legislation or executive action. Attached is a copy of the bill. Such a change would result in the possible dissolution of the Turnpike Authority, jeopardizing the progress that has been made toward getting the MCSB built on schedule. Please contact Governor Perdue (governor.office@nc.gov) and Senator Basnight (Marc.Basnight@ncleg.net or call at (919) 733-6854 to let them know how concerned you are with the possibility that the construction of the MCSB will be affected by NCDOT taking over the responsibilities of the Turnpike Authority. Quick turnaround is a must, since movement on the Senate side will more than likely happen this week.
