Seventh Circuit: Owner-Operator Independent Drivers v. Eric Holcomb

 

Rise in tolls ultimately directed to state treasury rather than maintenance does not unconstitutionally burden interstate commerce, because the state is acting as a marketplace participant; at the time of the Founding, roads were largely private, and the state has a right to its revenues.  

Disproportionate effect on interstate commerce was not established, and is irrelevant to the state's actions as market participant.
