(All the Bay Area Rs, independents and conservatives thank ya too , Gub!)
If true..
Payback is such fun..
Can you say .. Recall!
Politicians shocked by casino deal
John M. Hubbell, Cecilia M. Vega - San Francisco Chronicle
Alarm spread quickly Wednesday over a pending agreement between the state and an Indian tribe that would create a huge casino in the heart of the Bay Area, with even the congressman whose legislation helped it along questioning the deal.
I thought the reason for the cost overruns besides corruption and kickbacks was that Oakland protested the design as presented so they made cosmetic changes to not offend Oaktown's sensibilities.
To Bay area bridge and mega-casino............apply tag line and two aspirins
They raised the tolls this year to pay for 'alternative' transportation programs. This story ignores the efforts to have a special vote to kill those projects and put the funding toward the bridges which are the source of the funding.
Yes. Most of the overun was for cosmetic enhancements.
Both of them?
Recall who?

Don Perata as the next Senate Pres Pro-tem? He's wackier than Burton.
I heard Burton railing yesterday about the fact that Arnold is hanging No Cal out to dry. He said that next time there is a major fire in So Cal, we'll be standing on the street with a tin cup. That's some rational thinking.
I'm sure the bay area liberals can pay a higher toll, since they pay the homeless for doing nothing, obviously they have more money than brains...

"Clearly it is not high on the governor's agenda to make the citizens of the Bay Area happy people," said Barbara O'Connor.
Hey, I'm a citizen of the Bay Area, and this decision makes me very happy!
Arnold ROCKS!!!
As for $4 tolls, make me laugh. In NYC, the toll on all bridges and tunnels is $6 without an EZ-Pass. Cry me a river.
they should charge $5 both ways
Do you really think the state of California will recall its governor because the gay bay will be paying a $5 toll to cross a bridge?
The Verrazano Narrows bridge is $8 without and $7 with E-Z Pass.
But you're right in that this poster makes it his mission to post anything that can be considered even remotely critical of Arnold and seldom posts anything but.
McClintock lost but some just can't seem to get over that.
imo,, There is a disease that still frequents FR,,
It is what afflicts many like you who Could post their own positive articles (if they can find any or many) and apply all the positive spin you can.. the fact that there is little positive to post is not my fault..
But as this administration wobbles off the path , you yelp and whine when anytime someone calls attention to All the parties responsible for the mess and the issues we remain mired in.
But No, let's go slam folks who post things that aren't positive to our side or theirs and feel like we have made a contribution.
Parsky and Karl 'Rogue Elephant' Rove must be so proud of yours and others efforts to besmirch your "fellow' FReepers and continue to deride anything closeto a conservative approach being applied to our problems instead of sputum and vitriol..
Thanks for the bump.
BTW,, the state owns all the bridges in the Bay Area, if I recall correctly.
That the bridge was boogered to death by Bay Area cosmetic considerations by old timers in state and local city governments is not a get out of jail free card.
The state must answer for this mess and clean it up, and not just toss this back to the locals to handle.
Yes, we have seen that you have ... peculiar beliefs about this site and the ideas that should be expressed on it. Nobody is contesting your right to post ... selective articles about the topic of your ... concerns. Best wishes.
