Just Regular Folks

These are the people standing between you and 300 percent toll hikes:

Four corporate executives - two of them big campaign donors to the governor.

Two former federal transportation officials, one now a Washington lobbyist.

A civil engineer.

And a prominent pastor.

The eight are the members of the Maryland Transportation Authority, which, according to its website, is "a group of citizens appointed by the governor."

These citizens include a bank CEO, a former Black & Decker vice president and two former assistant U.S. secretaries of transportation.

You know, just regular folks.

  1. THIS is how blatant and overt these people are now....they don't even care if you know the deck is stacked....The President is a "citizen", too, but go try to shake his hand or even try to APPROACH him...so PLEASE don't say they are regular citizens...I TOLD you it won't matter how many "citizens" stand against the toll hikes. Ain't gonna matter. It's been decided and now we are in the "ruse" phase. Thats the phase where politicians want to act like (and have us BELIEVE) that our "voice" makes a difference. The Governor (after "careful consideration") will raise them. So much for the will of "we, the people". Perhaps it IS time for Million Man ARMED March on Washington. And every state capitol. But won't the police be there, too? I hope so....
