[QUOTE="Jefpainthorse, post: 1830180, member: 11766"] The State Motto in Oklahoma is in Latin... it loosley translates to a phrase that mean, "build good roads and the tourists might stay...." JB... I dont want to live in Jersey or Chicago either... My point is DOT people are the same people in every state of the Union-they just don't look alike. Texas roads are great... but Texas roads are NEW. Dallas/Ft Worth has some snags and chronic construction too. We should also not that are neigbor States are not so paranoid about taking Federal Funding in general (OK tends to not ask for funding or grants in general) and Arkansas and Texas have better tax bases, more traffic and the powers that be figured out that poor roads kill economics. Our small cities and state politics are run from behind Oz's curtain by a flock of cotton patch Ceasars that have a vested interest in keeping small towns small (and broke) so the Funeral Director, Florist and Local insurance guy can keep status as the biggest fishes in small ponds. We have some ideas in the State Charter that were kinda progressive back in 1907.... but they aint workin in 2012. [/QUOTE]
