Oklahoma Turnpike Authority

“Failure to pay toll, DEATH!”
~ OTA mission statement
The Oklahoma Turnpike Authority (OTA) is part of a six-member shadow government conspiracy called the hexataterate consisting of the Pope, the Tri Lateral Commission, the Masons, Bill Gates, and the people who make Doritos. The Oklahoma Turnpike Authority is credited with creating the city of Toll-sa.
[edit] History
The OTA was created in 1949 by the Oklahoma Legislature (the illustrious governing body which has made Oklahoma's education system the best in the nation, ranked just above Mississippi's). A mandate was given to the OTA to build modern, sleek, limited-access highways (known as "interstates" everywhere else) the construction of which would be funded by tolls. Unfortunately, the legislature wrote a clause into the law which stated that so long as any turnpike, anywhere in the state has not been completely paid for, tolls can be assessed on all the other turnpikes. Consequently, as soon as a turnpike is about to be paid for, the OTA promptly begins to build a new one, usually in some God-forsaken spot where it's not really needed, so that tolls can continue to be collected at all turnpikes. I swear I am not making this up.
[edit] Organization
The organization of the OTA can only be speculated, owing to their secretive nature. The fact that other states seem to be able to build and maintain interstate highways without charging tolls is a paradox which seems to be beyond the ability for the citizens of Oklahoma to comprehend. The OTA feeds off this ignorance, allowing it to become the most powerful, unaccountable, quasi-government organization on Earth.
