Tell It To Tim's Blog

My taxes already paid for the roads to be built and I'll be danged if I pay a additional toll just to drive on it.
Why do you think there aren't nearly as many people using them now?

Go ahead and build/make a toll road. You can guarantee I won't be driving on it. I don't care if the alternitive takes me another 30min...the gas I use versus the $3 in toll fees is still less. My budget is stretched enough due to gas, why would I pay more for a stupid toll?

Tax alcohol. At least with higher liquor prices, maybe some drunks won't be able to afford it and drunk driving may decrease. We've already taxed one bad and unhealthy habit...let's tax the other.

Tim,

How much of our tax dollars have they spent to re-model the Governor's mansion?

How much of our tax dollars have they spent for rent on the house he is staying in while the work on the mansion is completed?

It makes me MAD AS HELL to see how our goverment spends our money for there own personal gain. While the rest of us tax payers have to drive on these worn out highways that they want to charge us extra to drive on.

If I ran my business and household like our government does they wouldn't have any tax money money to spend. I have to use common sense when spending my money or the state comptrollers office will come after me.

Rick Perry is just another fine example of a typical politition in the way he allows tax dollars to be spent. If the money for highways hadn't been spent for other things then we would have enough money to fix our highways.

We may not be able to do anything about this type of stupidity from our heads of government, but at least I feel better by voicing my opinion.

The more things change, the more they remain the same.

To Tim:

I saw the most stupiest FEDEX commercial yesterday:
A fedex truck gets stuck in the mud. So the driver calls back at headquarters to make a report of being stuck in the mud.
So the dispatcher hails a cab to the rescue. The dispatcher picks up all the parcels from the truck stuck in the mud. They load the cab down with parcels.
Then the cab drive back to headquarter with parcles stuck out the windown. The dispatcher never pays for the cab fair.
It was that easy to hail a cab. Not around here. "All the cabbies speak a foreign lanuage!"

Why don't they work on one road at a time we went to Austin there was so much road construction on several different roads it was a nightmare...

Ih lets be thankful that Gov Rick Perry says he won't run this next time , well my gosh who would vote for him AGAIN he has messed up so many things bending over backwards for illegals for one thing ..NOT MAKING ENGLISH OUR official language he is still thinking about it how stupid...Trans-continental highway WHY FOR WHAT REASON we don't want Mexican trucks here they are dangerous they are not kept up to our standards

Do we really actually need more tollways. there are at the moment enough tollways as there now.

That wouldn't work, there is not enough room for another kitty in the mansion. LMAO

Maybe we should send a citizen delegation to Chicago. Their tollways are endless, expensive and constantly under repair. In fact when we went this summer, we couldn't find a toll booth to make change, and the amount was scrawled in marker above the basket. On the other hand, tollways here seem to be better maintained and less traveled. Of course if they really REALLY wanted to push for mass transit and carpool use, they could make Central and I35 into tollroads. Can you imagine the logjam?

Cowboys. Dallas has an offensive line that has been wearing down defenses all season, but we dedcided to get into a quarterback shoot out with a 3 time superbowl winner. We need to give Romo more time to grow. The way to beat a Brady or Manning is to keep them off the field.
We need to establish a solid running game against teams with high powered offenses, and we have the line to do it.

What ever happened to road building "chain gangs"?
