Dear Readers:

I will be out of town this weekend, and part of my travels will take me on the Thruway-maintained, but completely gratis, roadway of I-287. I’m sure you will all feel quite heartened to know that your 75 cent tolls in South Buffalo and Black Rock will go to subsidize the maintenance of a roadway that cuts through the center of one of the wealthiest counties in the entire country.

It’s nice to know that the working class of Buffalo can subsidize Mercedes drivers throughout Westchester.

I don’t know why I’m on a Thruway kick today. They just really pissed me off this morning.
