Under a bill introduced this week by State Senator Raymond J. Lesniak, a Democrat from Union County, the New Jersey Turnpike Authority would set up a new corporation and sell a 49 percent stake of the turnpike and the parkway to investors and while the bill would limit any toll increases to the rate of inflation, Mr. Lesniak said the sale would raise $6 billion and help pay down the state's pension liabilities. Mr. Lesniak found support from several legislators, with the most prominent voice being that of Richard J. Codey, the Senate president and former acting governor.
