[edit] Turnpike takes its meetings on the road

"The first time I attended a Massachusetts Turnpike Authority board meeting, I was amazed by the presence of television klieg lights, radio sound equipment, and real-time updates sent to the news wires.

Yet the high interest is warranted. The Turnpike Authority board controls a complex $15 billion tunnel system and the state's main east-west roadway - both crucial to the Massachusetts economy. It also sets toll rates, which might as well be taxes for drivers who have to travel the route every day for work."
