No one should be fucking traveling. They'll risk their lives to go visit relatives when you can celebrate the holidays at a later time. OHDOT and MDOT really fucked up by not closing the turnpike and I94 for today and maybe even tomorrow.

Can ODOT shut down the turnpike? The Ohio Turnpike is privately owned/operated.

Apparently ODOT doesn't control the turnpike but a separate agency OTIC (ohio turnpike and infrastructure commission does).

No, since it’s privately owned ODOT has no authority.

This is what Republican rule gets you. Privatize everything but regulate nothing. Oh, and stealing elections is good with many of them.

It is not privately owned that is Indians; Kasich considered it but rejected that notion in 2011
