mean too." Avidor: When it comes how $150+ Million of the taxpayers' money is spent, I think we should spend as much time as possible getting our questions answered properly...haste makes waste.... There's an old trick that used car salesmen use to size up customers. They drop a book of matches and if the customer bends over to pick it up for the salesman, the salesman knows it's going to be an easy sell. "Nice" people don't ask a lot of questions... Is asking questions about how our money is going to be spent on a big highway project like the 35W Access Project "mean"? Sometimes it isn't "nice" or comfortable to talk about our money and how it's spent. Don't worry about looking like an "angry" citizen. Don't worry about hurting the feelings of politicians by asking how your money is being spent. Harry Truman had some good advice for politicians who take offence to questions and criticism....
