You talk a lot about law and order for a low down criminal and liar. You're just a hateful wannabe who wanted to become a cop to satisfy your ego. Your thirst for some kind of power and authority you would otherwise never have in your wildest fantasies.
I'm not fooled. Your IQ is to low to be a professional of any kind and your ego is to big to work and McDonalds. So you became a cop and hang out at McDonalds...LOL 
What's your obsession with this breaking the law business. We're talking about changing the law. If the law is changed, then they wouldn't be law breakers. See how that works?
Sheesh...want a Gimp...

Minnow, why all the contempt for law enforcement? I do agree some of them have ego problems, but some night when someone comes creeping around your house wanting a piece of your illegal stash they might come in handy. I have come to realize that most people that are cop haters have done something in their lives that put them in a position where they were caught doing something illegal. Blame the police for catching you instead of taking a good hard look at your own life. You have this thing about people getting arrested for sale and distribution of weed and then turn it into an argument about alcohol and cigarettes. Why can't you see that until they are made illegal or your pot is made legal , it is an old tired argument? Maybe we are all using our drugs...alcohol and cigarettes like you use your drug, pot. So see?....cigarettes help me relax....and the same for alcohol....they're like medicine. Just like your medicine Minnow. Only mine is legal.

Truth, the Feds will not just hand over the funds for roads, but what they do is act like a dictatorship with those funds. The Feds tell the States that you have the right to set your own DUI limits, but if you want your tax money back for roads, then you must set your DUI limit to .08 or you do not get the money back.

Doesnt really matter to me, but just to try to answer Spideys question, "Where did this come from?"
Same place it always comes from, a guy named Dave Bishop I believe is his name. Powerful politician from Rochester, he drives back and forth to the cities and wants the speed limit changed.
I had the oppurtunity to see first hand one night how politics, and politicians work, it bout made me sick. The wife and I were at a nice dinner in Rochester for the MOA. All the local politicians were there. They were all required to stand up and give a couple minute speech, for their free meal. But this guy who represents Winona stands up and is talking about how the college campus there is in need of some new buildings but that he cant get Bishop and his party to help him with it.
Bishop stands up and in front of everyone says, "You vote to raise the speed limit between Rochester and the cities and I will see that you get your buildings.
Now some might say thats how its supposed to work, I dont think so. If the college needed new buildings or repairs, that should be all that matters, it shouldnt. depend on politicians using what doesnt belong to them as bribes to get what they want. Thats politics as usual, sorry bout the rant, LOL. But if it gets passed, check and see if Winona got any new buildings, my bet is they did!

The federal government should be able to set requirements for the subsidies it provides the states to maitain infrastructure. What else would they do?
If Minnesota gets help from Washington, how in the world could the state (receiver) expect to dictate to Washington (giver) what they will do with it? Granted there are nogotiations, but you don't take grants and then dictate terms of its use to those providing the grant.

People keep forgetting, it's OUR money. We need to get the Federal Government OUT of our business.
Why in the world would anyone think it is a good idea to send money to Washington, and then PLEAD to get it back--AFTER the Feds have taken their cut? Kind of like paying "protection" money to the mob! 
If THAT isn't bad enough, the Feds put restrictions on what we can do with the money--"put our speed restrictions on, or we won't give you your allowance". Change your DWI laws to .08, or we won't give you your money back. At least "Luigi the loan shark" would leave you alone after he took your money--the government wants to tell you how to spend what they've LEFT us. 
One of the reasons old people (like me!) are thought of as cranky and crochety is because we've SEEN what life USED to be like. Forty years ago, people wouldn't have stood for this centralized government control--today they accept it as normal. By accepting these government controls, it goes to prove the old adage that "there is more to fear from the enemy within than without".
The only way we get rid on "One size fits all, PC approved government controls" is to QUIT FEEDING THE BEAST!

But don't you see... he is the beast. He likes when everyone puts in the kitty and he gets to control the kitty...
It's not your money. It's his money and he'll use it to incarcerate all you ingrates and druggies, that's what he'll do darn it!  Ya, that's the ticket. Matter of fact we need more of your money for machine guns. You wouldn't want the cops to face a bunch of miswestern farmers without the proper lethal fire power now would you?
