Why fight Baldwin over toll road path? - al.com: "IF BALDWIN County leaders and environmental groups all oppose a proposed toll road up the eastern side of the county, then the state highway department ought to drop the idea.

Even without a recession, there's usually more road work needed than there is money. A toll road between Interstate 10 and Interstate 65 is a worthy project, offering another route to and from the beach and an alternative for hurricane evacuations, with tolls waived during those emergencies.

But the Alabama Department of Transportation is looking one way, and the Baldwin County Commission is looking another way. The county's route makes more business sense."
