This will probably appear in the local Milwaukee rag this week. I hate the 200 word limit, I'd have loved to bring up the IL troll road and it's refusal to die off despite going past its charter. I'd have loved to bring up the extra payroll and infrastructure costs caused by the need for trolls to collect tolls. Yes, I did mean to spell it TROLLS; in the fairy tales what does a troll do? He sits at a roadblock and demands money to let you pass, right?

I'd have loved to bring up the never ending light rail "study" here. It seems they will "study" light rail until they wear us down with the costs of the study and decide it will be cheaper to just build it. Of course they will lie about how much it will cost. Saddly, the local rag won't publish my big articles, so I am forced to condense to less then 200 words.

You've done well. All of these studies are done by people w/ friends in the government who commission them. It's a rip-off. Fight them on this.

Why should anyone pay to drive on a road they've already paid taxes to have built?

I have yet to see any real cuts. Thing that need or could be cut go happily on.
And what is cut are the things that don’t need to be.
But need to show “ See we need more money”
