re: Why is LA so against toll roads?

There's a plethora of small authorities that handle these things. First there's the NYNJ Port Authority which handles NY-NJ crossings, and has such assets as the WTC, and other various properties throughout NYC- their board is split between appointees of NY and NJ governors . Then there's the MTA Tunnel and Bridge Authority which handles some connections between Brooklyn and Queens. Then there's the Triborough Bridge Authority which handles the Triborough bridge. Each authority has its own set of boards and directors, which are all appointed by the governor.

You can imagine the types of scandals that take place with an arrangement like that
