The Arkansas state highway dept is out of control here. It's run by commissioners appointed by the governor, only when one dies or quits. They are not subject to the voters. We have new four lane highways everywhere to nowhere, but our existing roads are falling apart. You don't have TV coverage of ribbon cutting ceremonies for fixing potholes...

Jim, > No wonder the state is broke. Many many news headlines about the protests in budget cuts, including the pink slips teachers are getting. Students are walking out of classes "protesting" said cuts, and that's also making news. No one talks about how tax revenues rose 30% over the past four or five years, yet CA once again finds itself in a budget shortfall. Meanwhile Arnold is doing the right thing and resisting new taxes, though his will to resist isn't that strong and the Dems in Sacramento know it. Tenchusatsu
