More Local Government Waste


The City of Savannah is awash in taxpayer dollars. It has to be. Why else would the City WASTE and unreported amount of money (Dan Logana) to install radar speed monitors on Bay Street?
Two things really upset me about this. First, anyone who has driven down Bay Street at any time of day or night knows that if you ever do get going over, say, fifteen miles per hour, you will only do so for about twenty feet until you get to the next red light. Second, every vehicle aside from golf carts and farm equipment is equipped with a spedometer. If people ignore their own spedometers, why in the hell would they pay attention to ones posted on lightposts?
If you're trying to come up with a reason as to why the City chose to do this, give up. There is no logic behind it or anything else they do.

My theory is that some of the carpetbaggers that are new residents downtown got together and politely asked for this. Apparently the Southern folk drive too fast for them.

The Reagan philosophy addresses this problem perfectly.

Any time we see government (whether it's federal or local) wasting money on unnecessary stuff = Time. For. A Tax Cut.
