The state will solicit "expressions of interest" from private firms to lease or take over the Pennsylvania Turnpike to gauge how much revenue it would raise, Gov. Ed Rendell said Wednesday. Rendell said the money raised would go toward the state's highways and mass transit systems, parts of which are in dire need of repair.
