Just say NO to incumbents. Clean house and get some real representation. We're in the big mess now with the people already in office running the show. Especially in my district, they don't represent the MAJORITY of the people and they don't deserve to be re-elected. They've had time to work on the problems and what have they been able to do with it? They've reached the conclusion that they just need more money. More and more and more.........and on and on and on....... mad

New taxes and more taxes are NOT NOW, NOT EVER going to be the right answer. There is no silver bullet for living with tough spending constraints. Unfundated mandates, non discretionary spending mandates and bond debt are KILLING us now. We can't continue to go down that road. Why do taxes continue to have to be raised each and every time the law allows it? Why can't they live with the ceilings we voted for? Face it, taxes are "crack for polititions". Just say NO to NEW TAXES. They won't unless you do! Will there ever be a ceiling on the amount of taxes we must pay? Not if the current mentality is allowed to continue. When you retire on a fixed income how will you absorb the new taxes of the day? Turn off the lights? Eat less? These are realities for many people NOW.

ZoZo - we'll still be building roads until the end of the fossil fuel era of this planet. Even if R-51 fails which seems likely, you'll find construction work and the funding will be found for it when the people speak loud enough. smile And please be aware that R-51 is a DOWN PAYMENT, a 25-30 year mortgage if you will, on future needs for more money to complete many of the projects proposed and started by R-51. The saga continues.......grrrrr.

Why does the DOT need R-51 for new construction? Because they built roads on bonds that we're still paying for and they can't build anymore until those bonds are paid for. Is there a pattern developing here?

Just another OPINION! laugh Oh, yea, JUST KIDDING!!!!!! It's all just for fun, no big deal OK? Buy VISION hooks!!! ha ha ha...
