{OT} The Big Dig rides again!!!

What buttheads we have for politicians here in Mass. True definition of
the moniker Massholes!

These brainiacs want to reistate the tolls on the Western 4 exits of the
Mass Pike (they have been Toll-Free for quite a while now). Not only that,
they want to toll rts 391 and 291, in the middle of the Western part of
the state, or roughly 100 miles from Boston and the "Hole in the Wall"
gang.

What a bunch of FREAKING MORONS!!!!

I hardly EVER fly, and when I do (once about every 30 years or so...) I go
to Bradley, which is between Springfield and Hartford, CT. It's about 45
miles from my home, whereas going to Logan means fighting my way through
Boston, approx 100 miles away. Why, in the name of sanity, are they
wanting to charge US for thier foul-up?!?!?

It seems to me, the people that should be paying for it, are the people
USING it! This would mean imposing a "Gate Tax" on people using Logan
airport! Up the tax on the people actually USING the frigging thing,
instead of punishing people who may NEVER use the damn thing!!

Yup...Massholes, alright!

It isn't only Massholes that are paying....everyone in America put in
some money for that idiotic, dangerous tunnel system.

Well, I don't know if your memory serves, but Rt 391 is the connector that
connects Rt 91 from Springfield to Chicopee, and ends on High St in
Holyoke.

So, ,if any of his relatives are still in Holyoke, *you* could be paying
for your 'share' of the BD if you come to Mass!

that mess!

But but....a lot of people could not have gotten rich....

I haven't heard Howie in a bit. I'm sure he is keeping
the pressure up.
