Sponsor Leslie Combs urged it’s defeat and says it could give another state, in the case of the Brent Spence Bridge it would be Ohio more power or authority over the project. The amendment was approved by a slim margin 46 to 44. But Simpson’s stride was broken when he again revisited the notion of banning tolls on any interstate project that connects Kentucky to Ohio, i.e. the Brent Spence Bridge. Unyielding in his convictions against the user fees, he tried that same tactic yesterday in committee to no avail. He says Washington is shrugging its responsibility to maintain a safe infrastructure system and Kentucky taxpayers shouldn’t be the ones to pick up the slack. --- Learn more about KET's programs at http://www.ket.org/video/ Visit KET's Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/KET Subscribe to the KET channel: http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=ketvideos
