Eastern Toll Road Will Fail Dismally

As the toll road authority prepares to open its latest stretch, the Eastern Toll Road, I once again will state that all of this will be a total, dismal failure, one that will fall flat on its face.

We taxpayers will have to surgically repair this farce by buying out, at the best price we can get, those individuals who sponsored the bond issue.

The federal government gives away our land to those who rape our beautiful forests, lakes and rivers. I still am puzzled as to who authorized the giveaway of our very beautiful countryside to these people so they could ruin our land with their toll roads.

How many among us can afford the toll prices they are asking? And in this “laid-back” Southern California atmosphere, what is our big rush to get somewhere? So what if it takes an extra half-hour or even an hour? Are we to become like New York City, where everyone is in a hurry? Which life would people rather have, theirs or ours?
