  2. I am liking the idea that our
    elected should wear PATCHES on Jackets that clearly show who
    pays for their - "Services"!

    It has been shown that a
    2 second delay on the yellow
    light time is ALL About Safety
    - Some states and Muni's SHORTEN
    the yellow to get more 'ticket money'! This went through the
    Dept of Economic Development
    in Florida! Revenue Generator!

    Ya know - we got ticked at the King for feeing, fining and fatiguing US into Compliance! We showed him who was boss by writing the Declaration of Independence!

    Enough of this!
    Where is My Rep?
    "Of, By and For 'We the People'"

    What a shame they have no clue
    about the OATH of Office! Sad!
    Very sad!

  3. Politicians need campaign money.the people that fund politicians need favors.Jeff is just one example. How about Scot Maxwell and Sun recycling. Maxwell is all set to scream about what wonderful angels Southern waste are at the next meeting. He nearly had a cow when his friends were taken off of the consent agenda !!! LOL.

  4. Shouldn't people who break the law be punished?
    I like the NASCAR approach for elected officials.
