Over the past few years, the politicians and staff at TCA have said the proposed toll road would be built without taxpayer funds. But this year, in the face of declining use by drivers, TCA considers tapping public funds to subsidize tolls drivers pay. In this clip, from the March 13, 2008 board meeting, TCA director Eric Beaver (Costa Mesa) expresses reservations about this bait and switch tactic, which he refers to as shadow tolls. We wonder will TCA now retract its statements on its Web site and in the press for the past decade that their roads dont use taxpayer funds?
