And lets see a show of hands for the people who REALLY believe that this money will be actaully used on road repairs and construction? More likely, it will be diverted to cover up some scam that is ALREADY in place, or to pay for another junket to Europe or the Middle East for his friends, extended family, huge staff, and of course, his small army of "security", to, you know, "drum up business for Maryland". Riiiiiight.... Meanwhile, the citizens of the state, working 2 jobs & part-time hours with no medical insurance or vacation, watch gas prices rise, food prices skyrocket, electric bills go crazy, run a gaunlet of police every day looking to make MORE money on you, and wonder how they will pay the mortgage this month. "We, the people" don't stand a chance. If Jefferson were alive today, we would already have hung hundreds of these slimeballs and be in a full-fledged revolt. Yeah, I said it. Report me to Homeland Security....

If you really care about how current elected officials are snubbing the people they were elected to represent, don't just do your best to prevent them from returning to any office, do it in a way that makes it clear to them WHY. The people in Delaware never thought Mike Castle could ever be voted out of office but he was a quite soundly.
