NO TAX DOLLARS FOR A TOLL ROAD

Have you seen the tollroads such as in the Chicago area. By the time they are established, Pension Plans and retirement plans are already made to ensure that the Toll roads end up not helping commuters but is funded in 20 years just to pay the pensions of the thousands of toll gate money grabbers that stop you in long lines to take your money.

With every Federal dollar we beg for like dogs, the Government sees it as a means of redistributing wealth penny by penny for their own gain.

The Constitution Party will denounce this.

OMG This is so retarded one of the reason's to put the by pass in was to get rid of all the truck traffic going thru Bella Vista. As an ex over the road truck driver i would not be going on the by pass as now days you have to log tolls on your log book. To save doing this the trucks are just going to go the old way of thru Bella Vista.

If you drive on the toll roads you should get the following.
1.) Roads are kept up & clean.
2.) Clean rest rooms at every toll station, with an attendent constantly cleaning then.
3.)Coffee & Snak mechines (reasonably priced)
4.) a free mecanics in trucks to help if you run out of gas or break down.
5.) Free towing to a shop if your problem requires it.
So is the state of Arkansas ready to offer stuff like that?

6.) Medical services constantly driving on the roads in case of accidents or medical aid needed
