Description:

Renowned environmental lawyer and host of "Voices of the Law" Jan Schlichtmann has filed a class-action lawsuit claiming tolls collected on the Massachusetts Turnpike are an illegal tax.
 
Jan Schlichtmann's complaint filed Friday in Middlesex Superior Court on behalf of three drivers who use the highway seeks a refund that could amount to $300 million.

Schlichtmann tells Scott Drake that tolls collected on the Pike are "an unconstitutional expropriation of money" because they are used to pay for other projects, including the $15 billion Big Dig.

He says there is legal precedent supporting his clients.
