Round trip this was about 15 hours of driving. We went through 13 speed traps. I would feel perfectly safe going through one speed trap in every 15 hours of driving. I suggest we cut all funding to local governments to employee more traffic police and cut the number of state police by 50%. Then order the remaining 50% to fight crime rather than run speed traps.

Excuse me, whose stupid inept idea was that? Was this one of those many December expenditures made to spend whatever money was left over in the budget rather than return unspent budget monies back to the General Fund at the end of the year? Why isn’t this a priority in keeping the budget under control? Reward the departments for saving money and staying under budget…..what a concept!

And why was there money spent on these useless signs rather than taking the money to paint the stripes on the freeway so that we can see which lane we’re in at night and/or in rain?

I have a feeling it’s time for the unemployed to go to Denver and show the Governor and his department heads how to live within a strict budget!! They would do a much better job and for a lot less money!

If Mr. Ritter needs more suggestions on cutting the budget. Just send me the budget and a red pen. If I get it on Friday he will have a balanced budget by Monday. And good riddance to everything I cut.
