Call the Police. It looks like intentional physical assault to me.

So if tolls are the wave of the future does that mean lower transportation taxes are too? You can't do both: highest gas tax in the country and toll everything. Dear state, please pick one or the other but not both.

Great so now we have to pay $30/year per car (for the Discovery Pass) and get less service, fewer open parks, and seasonal closures. That was a worthwhile investment...

Completely terrible. I entered Las Vegas, NV USA as a destination and it told me the site can only be used for destinations within the US and that "Las Vegas, NV, USA" is not in the U.S.

I'm fundamentally against tolls because I believe it further separates the the upper class from the middle class. There truly is enough funding for roads if the powers that be budget well and don't waste. This is America and I believe you ought to be able to drive FREELY around the country and visit state parks FREELY. Basically as it's moving now the lower class will have to stay at home 24x7....they can't drive anywhere because it could be $20-$30 in tolls, they can't go to parks because it's another $10 to park....and they've already paid for all these things through general taxes, gas taxes, car tab taxes, etc. I live on the West coast because I don't believe in tolls. No. No. No!

Makes no sense to me as to why they don't have normal insurance. If they're self-insured then they ought not be whining because their "self-insurance" plan should cover this right? Unless like most government agencies they're just plan stupid and their insurance is us taxpayers....oh yeah, we're the endless insurance for their stupidity.

This stuff drives me crazy. Let the guy be. We've all just spend hundreds of thousands in tax dollars to prosecute, jail, and worry about this man simply living on his own land. What a waste. When did government become so ridiculous?

After listening it seems to me the Pilot was more in control than the controllers. In the emergency the controller seemed flustered and wordy. The pilot is dealing with a million things...make your comments quick and to the point controller. And how come the pilot needed to suggest Yuma...the controller should have known the closest full service airport shouldn't they?

Why don't they do a small scale test for an entire city or something. Why the need to test on the entire U.S.? It's a test right....then do a "test" on a sample. If my clocks are all wrong in August who am I supposed to call or email to let them know that I don't like their test?

No thank you. We've known sales taxes were down since the market crash in 2008. You're telling me that in 3 years Metro couldn't have planned or adjusted for any of the short fall in advance. No thank you. I'm not going to pay for your poor planning, poor forecasts and down right waste. If you use it pay for it.
