tolls

In my travels which have been extensive throughout this great land of ours I plan my route using interstates when possible and looking for what appears to be the best route. Some prove to be better than others, for example: Approaching Atlanta on I-75 there is a “By-Pass to Florida”. WRONG, it is a very long way around, kind of like trying to scratch your elbow by reaching behind your back. Much better to time the trip to cross Atlanta at Non-Rush Hour and just sail straight through downtown. When faced with a toll-road I gladly pay the toll to ease the trip. When I go to Disney World I pick up Florida’s Turnpike at I-75, pay the toll and I’m there.

I have been monitoring this travesty since 2:20 this afternoon. Finally at 3:58, Commissioner Bush brought up a propoal against destroying the Shands bridge andreplacing it with a useless replacement for the good of enriching the coffers of privateers. If anything can be dubbed a 'Bridge To Nowhere" this has to be it.

Mr. Bush's proposal died a quicker death than an ABC sitcom. In less than two minutes it was over leading me to wonder what this board is getting in return for selling out their constituents yet again. This definitely illustrates how very important it is that each and every one of the board pretenders be replaced in the next election. This is also an extremely apt example of why the Hometown Democracy Act is so very important. Just look at how much damage a bad board can inflict if only limited by elections. They have shown a debased lack of morality each and every time the business of the people is betrayed. This blogger looks forward to a day these commissioners are no longer able to do further harm. May they all rot in Hell.
