Replying to: euphonium (May 06, 2008 8:38 am) It'd be cool to see 5M not blown on consultants every time a transportation development is planned, too. They spend money like it's monopoly money. Pretty soon WA will have both the highest gas taxes in the country, and toll roads.

The NJTP and GSP Tolls are nothing to slack at either. -mike Replies to this message: fintail (May 06, 2008 5:18 pm) paisan (May 06, 2008 5:27 pm) fintail (May 07, 2008 7:35 am)

Replying to: paisan (May 06, 2008 4:46 pm) What's the gas tax there? That was always the WA state excuse to not have tolls - the taxes are the highest in the US, so it makes up for it. Not anymore. When the new bridges across Lake Washington are built, they will carry similar tolls. Replies to this message: paisan (May 06, 2008 5:27 pm) fintail (May 07, 2008 7:35 am)

Replying to: fintail (May 06, 2008 5:18 pm) Not sure what the tax is but in NYC regular is close to $4.00 PS: The bridges here were built in the 50s and have been long paid for and it doesn't cost $9/car to maintain them.... -mike Replies to this message: fintail (May 07, 2008 7:35 am)

Replying to: paisan (May 06, 2008 5:27 pm) Sounds very similar to here. Any tolls we get will certainly never go away...and I'd bank on there never being a truly viable mass market public transportation system, either.
#535 of 540 Keeping Us Safe From The Lawn Tractor Menace by oldfarmer50 Nov 17, 2008 (10:08 am)
GLENS FALLS--A city man was arrested Saturday morning for allegedly driving a lawn tractor on Glen Street while under the influence of marijuana, city police said. Police charged Donald Johnson,42 with driving while ability impaired, driving without headlights or seatbelts and driving an unregistered vehicle. Riding on the hood of the tractor, Johnson's passenger, Carl Critelli, 49 was ticketed for not wearing a seat belt. I'm so glad the local LEOs are keeping the citizens safe. I can only imagine how many people are killed each year while mowing their lawns without a seat belt. My only question, where do I go to get plates for my roto-tiller, Motor Vehicles or the Farm Bureau? Replies to this message: steve_ (Nov 17, 2008 10:18 am) euphonium (Nov 18, 2008 11:00 am)

Replying to: oldfarmer50 (Nov 17, 2008 10:08 am) You can get a dui around here on a horse. There are lots of rigs you can operate while intoxicated that will make you a menace to others. Bicycles, for example. link Replies to this message: euphonium (Nov 18, 2008 11:00 am)

Replying to: steve_ (Nov 17, 2008 10:18 am) But, that only includes "Draft" horses. "Barrel" horses are exempt.
