You should run for public office

That solves the problem of no one running against them and gives everyone an alternative It's hard though - people tend to vote for the incumbent because they're the incumbent - even when they do a crappy job


I'm curious though - 1/3 of the state pays 90% of the tolls....

Is that 1/3 by area? Population? And, what percentage of highway road usage does that 1/3 utilize? (Just curious)
