Winchester, under previously assumed jurisdiction, approves the turnpike authority’s application to approve revenue bonds to finance the construction of three turnpike projects, update and repair turnpike facilities and infrastructure, refund prior revenue bonds and notes, and pay other costs. Protestants say that the authority was statutorily allowed one bond issue for the entire construction of four turnpikes. Since the authority did not previously construct the entire loop from the first bond issue, the protestants contend that it is barred from issuing any more bonds. The relevant title provides that if the court is satisfied that the bonds have been properly authorized in accordance with the Oklahoma Highway Code, it shall approve the revenue bonds. This is in keeping with 30 years of precedent. The authority has properly exercised its authority to determine the routes and has legislative authority to issue additional bonds. Affirmed.
