Waste, waste, waste!

[RangerClay]

So l leave work yesterday and I see that they are putting up a new billboard.

"Slow Down For Motorcycles" it says. Paid for by some state safe driving committee.

Now I don't have a problem with the message but more with the timing. 99% of motorcycles are now put away for the winter. Seems to me like that is a waste of good taxpayer money that could have been better used in the spring.

Have you seen any state government waste lately.

Was the sign paid for by the Taxpayers or ABATE ?

Motercyles are always the ones speeding by me and weaving in and out of traffic... It should say, obey the law motorcyclists, and you will be safe.

I don't own and never have owned a motorcycle . The problem , as i see it , is a lot of folks pay no attention to them . Many of the accidents are caused by people not giving "right of way" to motorcycles and making U-turns in front of them .

Seems like it would have money better spent to say..."Hey check the tread on your tires it is gonna snow soon"...or "hey increase you following distance on slick roads".

Wanna see some waste---how about all the court and police time being eaten up becasue the illegal alien tha killed the lady out by Rochester was ...get this ...OUT ON BAIL from a previous arrest. Seems our Gov has decided to have our police NOT check fingerprints on the system to determine if they are in the country legally. How many man hours is this eating up.....not to mention the poor lady and her family. I don't want this to be political ...it just seems like common sense to me. I am not a fan of lawsuits but if that was my wife I would have lawyers crawling up the officials back sides

They should take all of the money we waste every year on the arrest, conviction and housing of illegal aliens and build a 30 foot high wall across the southern boarder, then ship any illegal caught here back to Ole Mehico. Make the welfare bums do the jobs the illegals used to do if they want assistance money.
