Leftovers: Turnpike Inquisition!

• Some Spanish firm has bid $12.8 billion to lease the Pennsylvania Turnpike. It’s time to make a prediction: This will come to bite Pennsylvania in the ass in… let’s say, under 15 years. By then Ed Rendell won’t be governor and you won’t remember if I made this prediction if I’m wrong. But if I’m right, I will write about it, somewhere. [Inquirer]

• A New Jersey senator wants people to be able to bet on sports in the state. But how will we keep bookmakers from corrupting our multi-millionaire athletes! Oh, wait. [AP/CBS 3]

• And here’s some more on gambling, from the always-great Jacob Sullum. [Reason]

• Oh, yeah, there was a gun battle in court today. No, unfortunately, it wasn’t that entertaining. [KYW 1060]

Here’s more on the New Hope Pride Parade! [Philly EDGE]

• And, finally, cops have caught the toe-sucker, they say. Woo-hoo. [6 ABC]
