You've heard about cities and states talking about huge budget deficits that they have to cover somehow. The financial resolution? It could be our police and state troopers. Really!Today, I read a new study that says, for every 1% drop in government revenue, the number of traffic tickets issued goes up by 30%!!! So, there's a decent chance that economy is not only slowing down your spending, but will soon slow you down on the streets too.
In other words, if the local and state government isn't hitting their number, they're going to be hitting you up for the rest of it... on the road.
So make sure you go the speed limit, or avoid driving Arthur Teague Parkway in Bossier....

Teague Parkway is a joke, especially in comparison to Clyde Fant, across the river, for ease of use and general traffic flow. Teague has that stupid hard left at the southern end that completely negates any convenience it might intend to provide.
Besides, I'm avoiding Officer Chipon Mashoulder since our mid November rendezvous in 2007.
No, Sir. It's I-20 to Spring Street to Clyde Fant for me from now on, as a matter of principle.
Suck it, Teague.
Haha!! I love that!
I do make an extra effort not to take Teague whenever possible.
Fant is much better at moving traffic.
