Description[?]:
| (Article in forum : http://forum.particracy.net/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=68&p=181296#p181296) Fort-William, Luthori - Infrastructure and Transport Secretary Seward Humphrey announced during a Prime Minister's Question Time a series of "long-term" privatizations, with some highways being privatized faster than others, the first phase of the plan is that highways 1, 3, 4 and 5, which connect the largest cities in the country with Fort-William, be privatized after the entry into the so-called "distant" suburbs of Fort-William, approximately 50 km after the start of the highway. The parts between the following cities, Klamsfeld for the H1 highway, Longstam for the H3 highway, Gigns for the H4 highway and Kingston for the H5 highway and Fort-William will be free. Also the Secretary Humphrey announced that, since Fort-William concentrates approximately 12,000,000 people, the highways which will be built in the capital and its surroundings will all be free, but if the limit of 50 km after the capital is exceeded by a highway, the highway will be privatized and tolls may be built. He also announced that his privatized highways will be considered as a test by the government, to know if it should go further or review its policy, various agreements on the operation of tolls have been signed with private operating companies, the price will be set per kilometer traveled from the beginning of the highway, for example, the 1st toll at the exit of Fort-William will be free, but the second toll, for example being 64 km from Fort-William, the price per kilometer being £0.254 per kilometer, after 64 km the price of the toll will be £16.26, if this calculation is hypothetical, we will very soon be the enplacements of the tolls and their distances from Fort-William, the government has also gave directions on location and frequency of tolls, not too far, by too expensive and not too close. The privatization of the highways is not a surprise, beingy in the government initiative to limit government intervention in the main sectors of the economy, but the state will continue to help in repairs, works or road extensions, warn Humphrey. The state will not abandon private companies just yet. |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, What will this government for the average Joe who is forced to commute to his work every single day? This would be an extra tax for those people. A tax that allows them to go to work!? We hope the government will make some changes for the working man and the poor. Henry Humperdinck |
