| Fiscal Detail and Notes | ||||||
| Authorizing the increase of the Maine Turnpike Authority's bonding limit from $361,000,000 to $461,000,000 provides part of the anticipated funding needed by the Authority to successfully implement its long-term spending plan for capital projects and maintenance through the year 2020. It is anticipated that approximately 32% of the authority's total estimated resources over this time span will be provided for by bond proceeds with the remaining 68% coming from cash generated from Maine Turnpike Authority operations. Estimated annual principal and interest payments for anticipated bond issuances can not be determined at this time. | ||||||
