Hello All,
Speaking of roads. I live in a rural area, out of city limits.
A few years back they repaved a county road with blacktop, It was very nice and smooth, A job well done.
When one of the local politicians found out about it, She wanted her road paved also.
There was no money in the budget to do her road that year, She would have to wait.
She could not wait, So they came back Two weeks later and removed the blacktop from the nicely paved road, And put it in front of her house on her road.
Guess who got in trouble ? The road crew that did the work, Only doing what they were ordered to do.
The road that was perfectly fine after being paved, is now a safety hazard. But her road was new.
Now you talk about Taxes being wasted, That was one of the dumbest things I have seen.
And people wonder why we don't trust where our tax dollars go ?.
I go by what I see, not what they tell me. They say what you want to here so they get your vote.
Then when they get in office, it is a totally different story.
In Houston, the new Mayor said I will not raise your taxes, If you vote for me.
Then after she won , she just starting calling all her new taxes "Fees". B.S.
I was born at night, but not last night.
Have a great day.
