You really think that Tim Murray is going to be any better?

Whether he takes it or not--if he approves these two measures, he has one term wonder written all over him.

But hey--it's for the children, after all

"Together we can"---drown

I didn't think there is any difference between any of them.
He'll probably apply to get his pension too when he leaves and hang out at the SweetPea Rancho.
He can already write the place off now that he hosted all the state flaks out there.

If that chip thing ever makes it, which it won't, there would be another Boston Tea Party. Maybe it's time anyway

These politicians need to start thinking on the common mans level for a change......you know....the folks that vote them in!!!!? Unemployment at a 40 year high and going higher......people that do have jobs are suffering cuts in pay, cutbacks in hours, and their employers are making them kick in a few more bucks for their health insurance!!!! Gas is expected to go up again, food costs are through the roof and folks are bending over backwards to make ends meet and these friggin arse holes want to tax us six ways till Sunday to make up for lost revenue!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Boston Tea Party???? How about just an old fashioned

neck tie party for these stupid sons o' bitches!!!

to quote
Transportation Secretary James Aloisi. "A user-fee based system, collected electronically, is a fair way to pay for our transportation needs in the future."The draft says the "average user will pay about an additional $120 per year, less than the cost of two small Dunkin' Donuts coffees per week." Last month, Aloisi downplayed a new $6 annual Turnpike Fast Lane transponder fee as less than the cost of his turkey sandwich that day.

So you don't have to complain about DD anymore!!

Unless you work for the state, of course...

That job transfer to North Carolina isn't looking to bad anymore.

I agree 100%. Let's see a show of hands on who voted for this idiot. My hands down. The Democrats in this state can pay for all of us. They want change, hope, etc. and continue to vote based on emotion rather then common sense. then they should pay for the change they crave.

I wonder if they'll implant the chip in an R sticker?
