Campaign pledge:
Bob McDonnell will make transportation infrastructure a four-year priority, beginning with substantial reforms in the 2010 General Assembly session.

-- wait for it --

reopening highway rest stops that were closed last year and staffing them with prison inmates.

4. It's from WaPo.

I guess that is a reliable source for this report, but they are dropping credibility rapidly.

They aren't 'rest' stops now.

5. They still aren't open

Passed the ones just west of Richmond yesterday
Well Mr. Governor are you going to get the stinky disgusting crappers open or not?

:rofl:

"Bobblehead" is already a joke but of course the Times-Dispatch last week had a half page picture of him with "Agenda Successful" 20 point font headline

6. Somebody should print

some stickers that can be slapped on signs if he does man them with convicts. The public should be warned.

7. ABout 10 years ago weren't there a rash of attacks and even someone going missing

from Va rest areas?

Convicts??? GREAT IDEA

I guess we'll have to furnish our own armed guards when we have to stop for a dump in VA.
