I do not doubt what you say even a little bit and I promise my intention here is not one upmanship. That having been said earlier this year the wife and I took a midsummer trip to Table Rock Lake for a week. On our trip down there immediately upon crossing the river at St. Louis gasoline prices dropped to the tune of .60¢/gal. and as if by magic the roads became 70% better. A few years ago we Illinoisans were promised wonderful roads by our esteemed governor fat bastard (relax, this term is an analogy in reference to a comedic movie character from a couple of decades back) when the legislature DOUBLED the gasoline tax. I won't hold my breath.
