WHITE HAVEN, LUZERNE COUNTY - If you're upset about the plan to put tolls on Interstate 80, you'll have your chance to sound off Monday night.

The Turnpike Commission will hold two simulatenous public meetings on the proposal Monday night. One will be held at the Mountain Laurel Resort in White Haven. The second one will be held at the Milton Area High School. Both will take place between 4:00 PM - 8:00 PM.

The public will be able to speak out about the plan, which calls for putting ten toll booths on the busy highway. A recent poll found nearly two-thirds of voters are against the idea of putting tolls on Interstate 80.
