It's Them, Not Me: Road Salt Rip Off-- Blago Gets the Bucks-- Got Burgers?

Things that burn me and one that doesn't.

1. ROAD SALT RIPOFF-- In many places around here the cost of road salt has just about doubled thanks to a second hard winter in a row. We have good capitalists taking advantage of the situation to make a lot of bucks, even at the cost of people getting hurt or worse. Time for the government to stop bailing out the GRBs and start protecting regular folks. Step in and set a reasonable price where they can make a reasonable profit, but, hey, we need that salt. Getting mighty slippery driving around here.


2. BLAGO GETS THE BUCKS-- Something in the paper about a company building roads in Illinois and making a $10,000 donation one day after the governor proposed adding more express tollway lanes. Things that make you go Hhhmmmnnn.


3. GOT BURGERS?-- I see that the Chicagoland Freeze Area is getting five new burger chains: Sonic, Fatburger, Meatheads, Five Guys and The Counter. I hear they have really good burgers!!
