Writing two tickets a day keeps the unemployment line away

Apparently, Germantown's cops are on a ticket quota. I'm shocked, simply shocked that such a thing would go on.

"Hybrid" I-69 route annoys all sides

The EPA's new "hybrid" route proposal apparently is unpopular with both Evansville officials and environmentalists. In other words, it's the very definition of a compromise. (Most of the sniffing seems to be from people on both sides who feel "left out of the loop." I feel their pain.)

I'm personally not all that sold on a route that meanders drunkenly through Southwest Indiana, but I'm sure something reasonably direct can be worked out that avoids the Patoka National Wildlife Refuge, which seems to be EPA's biggest concern.

Regular I-69 updates are at I69Info.com; this site is just for meaningless blather. :-)

EPA opposes highway construction; news at 11

The Evansville Courier & Press reports that the EPA wants I-69 to be a $900 million boondoggle that accomplishes basically nothing except destroying the few remaining businesses along U.S. 41 that I-65 didn't kill off.
