What a waste of taxpayers money!

The city council on a vote of 4-1 for $7,000 for 3 speed bumps on the road in between my house and my office. I have an Escape and am having problems and I went over the first one they installed today. My mom went over 1 in her little saturn and refuses to drive that road any more. I'm glad I don't have my mustang anymore because it would have bottomed out. My dad can't drive over them in his car. However, he can go over them in his truck at speed limit without feeling anything so they aren't going to do anything to slow the speeding. The ONE person who voted against it was our city mayor and he lives in the neighborhood!! The road they put it on is the ONLY road in and out of the neighborhood where you don't have to drive on Useless 19 (which the section is the deadliest in the United States) to go anywhere. I think what is more upsetting is that the city council members said they would try stop signs first (which is much, much better) before considering the speed bumps and they didn't. I guess it's good that they are the removable type.

Okay off my soapbox for the day. :)

I'm in the mood to scrap, scrap, scrap tonight!! :)

Love to all!

AUGH!!! That is SO awful about the speed bumps! They can't come lower them??? I would personally send them the bill for anyone's car that scrapes the bottom. That could seriously hurt someone's car!
Don't you just love it when people who DON'T live in your neighborhood have the right to make choices involving your neighborhood??

HUGS!!!
