Toll I-80 X-Man Again Tries — Gov. Ed “X-Man” Rendell is bravely using his incompetence in state budgetary matters to revive an attempt to further snarl traffic on Pennsylvania’s interstate highways, namely making I-80 a toll road.
Smart idea. We can’t pay the state workers we have so let’s hire some more.
Toll roads are an extraordinarily inefficient means of raising revenue but their economic costs are better hidden than other taxes, and of course they give hacks of either party a chance to bestow jobs and have people kiss their rings.
With regard to the CO2-emitting traffic snarls, I guess some people who say global warming is a crisis don’t really believe it to be.
Kristin Davis, can refer to him as Governor X but I’ll keep calling him Philadelphia Fats.
