Here in Orlando, we have an expressway authority that used to run TV commercials where one of the commissioners would appear and say, “Let me tell you how 100% of your toll revenues is being spent.”

He would then proceed to tell you that it was all being spent on upgrading the expressways. Of course, the obvious question is “Who’s paying for the commercials?”

Later, it became public that the expressway authority had spent millions of dollars on PR, including those commercials, and now we’ve got grand juries investigating the whole thing because they had no authority to do so.

The guys who pull these stunts are not only crooked, but they are stupid crooks at that.
