Joe Perkins and Lee Cain live near one of three proposed toll road routes. "It'd be coming right in front of my house the way I understand it and that would be more traffic problems," says Cain. "I'm not happy with it at all," says Perkins. "I have 101 acres right down the road, it's proposed coming right through the middle of it." The men say the highway would destroy wetlands and delicate wildlife. "I've got several places on my land where there's gopher turtles, they're protected by federal law," says Perkins. » More
