well, I'm sure you're not as dumb as your making yourself but obviously indiana still benefits from the deal since they get a yearly interest and job being created on top of not having to
Take care of the road. Great deal for Indiana don't you think?

K330i · 12-28-2008, 02:13 PM

all this so they can say, "we didn't raise your taxes" the next time they run for re-election?

i wish they would stop playing the shell game and raise taxes when it warrants instead of raising the cost of government and then rob peter to pay paul to get elected.

just like with the indiana toll road. the rates were doubled as soon as the deal went thru and will double again in the next 10yrs. why? because that is what is needed to keep it up. the indiana government was just to scared to do it on their own.

by the way: i'm in for the autobahn idea.
