Talking About Transportation on KOPN in Columbia

State and Local Government |
By David Stokes | Read Time 1 minute

Back on Dec. 30, I appeared on KOPN radio in Columbia to discuss tolls, public-private partnerships, and more on News at Five with Steve Spellman. We discussed the recent study written by Dr. Ken Small for the Show-Me Institute, as well as my prior study dealing with these topics. Anyway, the archived audio (currently the top one listed) is now available online, if any of you would enjoy a listen. I appreciated the opportunity to be on Steve’s show, and highly recommend listening in regularly if you are in the Mid-Mo. area on Tuesdays, when he hosts it.
