Who Broke The Bridge?

[Streetcar]

A bridge that crosses a state border is usually maintained by which state has larger portion, but other state pays portion of cost.

I don't object to paying for civilization.

Yeah me neither.
But not with reckless, wasteful spending.

The funds need to be managed properly.

You know, like how you and I manage our bank accounts...

but if you really want to help pay for civilization with higher taxes, you can start by not cashing your tax return check this year. That will help keep the tax dollars flowing for our country!

Thought it was Arkansas’s bridge, but it probably effects TN more.

From now on, people who make political posts will be banned for 1 day.

It would be a good idea to educate the mods on what exactly is and is not political...because based on past activity posts have been removed because the powers that be simply thought they were political in nature but actually had nothing to do with partisan or any type of politics...!

To paraphrase Supreme Court justice Potter Stewart.

I shall not today attempt further to define the kinds of material I understand to be embraced within that shorthand description ["hard-core pornography" "politics"], and perhaps I could never succeed in intelligibly doing so. But I know it when I see it, and the motion picture involved in this case is not that.[3]

The onus is on the person making the post. If they think it might be political, do not post it.

That's hardly fair...if a mod is ignorant of the facts it's easy for a member to get banned for no reason...!

The feds can share cost on many transportation projects, but only have to pay on federal property and dc.
Currently feds are paying 80 percent of cost of bike trail I am working on

And no matter who is signing the checks, Alabama, Tennessee or the feds, the people doing the work are likely to be private contractors not federal or state employees. The only difference is who's overseeing them and who signs the check.

Mentioning a Government policy may or may not be. It would depend on how it was phrased.

Mentioning a specific party, candidate or office holder in a desparaging or overly positive way or blaming or crediting them for certain events IS political.

It really isn't that hard to distinguish.

More likely some kind of mix. The laborers and machine operators may be private, but state and federal employees are almost always present in the form of field supervisors, engineers, inspectors, etc.
