2/6/03 - A Florida legislator said he plans to introduce a bill that could lead to more toll roads in the southwestern part of the state.
Rep. Mike Davis (R-Naples) said his bill would create a group called the Southwest Florida Transportation Authority, which could acquire property and issue bonds to fund toll roads. The authority would operate in Collier and Lee counties, which lie along the state's gulf coast north of the Everglades.
The legislative session opens March 4 and close May 2.
