Makes you wonder what kind of special favors Bloomberg and Booker have recieved from the so called green Change-to-Win cronies? There is only a small percentage of pollution created from truckers at the NY/NJ ports. The majority of dirty air is from the airport, I-95 congestion, the harbor traffic, & chemical refineries along that corridor. This Teamster/CTW plan backed by the two mayors to ban the owner/operator from operating his/her truck is all a political game.

Just more of the same from the coalition of idiots. Take away the right to ownership from truckers forcing everyone into trucks owned by large companies which they claim will solve all the air quality issues at the port terminals. The only issue they want to solve is mandatory employee status making it easier to unionize every trucker in the country. One thing is for sure, this coalition of Green goofballs are persistent to sell their flawed way of thinking to the politicians. I have written letters to my representatives denouncing this attack on the American small businessman. I still don't understand where the HELL is OOIDA while these folk are busy trying to take away our right to truck ownership?

Daily Horoscope for December 23

Aquarius

Someone is being bombastic and overbearing, and you don't like it. You aren't prepared to take their behavior lying down, but standing up to them is likely to result in a rip-roaring row. Well, it seems that the row is almost inevitable, and perhaps that's just as well because it won't do you any good to swallow your anger or tolerate this person's boorishness for much longer.
