This proposal if passed could put toll ways on I-70, I-44 and some bridges. Rep. Jeff Harris, who is sponsoring the bill, says that toll roads are needed to create better roads for the Missourians who use them.

Contents: It is a way to make some of our roads safer and to do it in a way that doesn't cost the general public if they're not using these roads, it doesn't cost them a penny.

Harris added that this proposal would limit the amount of toll ways because no one wants to put toll roads across Missouri. From the state Capitol, I'm Christine McCarty.
