Rich Roads
Senator Dick Day proved once again why you should never trust a politician. Day, in an attempt to alleviate the Twin Cities traffic problems, wants to allow people to pay $500 a year for the right to drive in the express lanes. Basically Day is saying that wealthy individuals are more important and deserve to be able to get to and from work faster. I'm sorry but the tax payers paid for those roads and everyone should be able to use them, not just those who have a little extra ching-ching in their pocket. What's next? First Class MTC Busses with leather interior and complimentary beverages for those who can pay $20 a ride? How about elite elevators for those who can pay $10 each time they ride up to the 25th floor? The wealthy in this country have enough perks as it is, they can certainly drive on the same roads as everyone else.
