on things like greenways and the wasteful pedestrian bridge over 581 near Valley View Mall, then tell us there is not enough money for the highways and we need to raise the gasoline tax. Someone wrote a letter to the editor of the Roanoke rag today concerning the pedestrian bridge and how no one ever uses it. And no one ever will. Total waste of money. That is what government does, and the same aholes get elected year after year. I once saw a bumper sticker that said "A fool and his money are soon parted, a fool with your money is running for reelection".
