Oh honey. That is sick and wrong on *so* many levels! I can't believe ya'll haven't had a major public outcry over that!

If I understand correctly, this is a route that *must* be used regularly. No real other option? Somebody should be taken to task for this!

Well... we DID have a vote on it. Among the people that live there and would use it every day it was polling about 80% NO on a the new bridge. SOOO... they expanded the counties for the vote to include voters all the way up to Seattle (The Soviet of Seattle) and all the way down to Olympia (remember Rachel Corrie and Evergreen State College???) and even though they decided to make it NON-Binding at the last minute, it barely passed anyway. But on MY side of the bridge the vote was still 80/20 toward NO new bridge.

It's like dropping a toll booth onto my driveway.

The vote didn't really matter. They had already started construction on it, so it was clear that it didn't matter how the vote was going to go.

But am I BITTER about it? Well... yes. :-)

Gonna have to go meet up with the Peninsula Militia. We got stuff to do. :-) Shame about how they're gonna have to rebuild those toll booths every week or so...
