Just wondering if a highway has been built can the state patch it up and called it a toll road’s?
And we pay for it already!!!!
Thank God Strauss is gone and hopefully he’ll stay that way.
Ol’ Strauss probably saw the ‘writing on the wall’ and smartly retired with his grace intact t
Great news
can we also talk about how some state politicians just listen to contributors and do not do any actual research on issues themselves in turn causing undue and senseless expenses on small businesses ???
