Dalby on tolls, tools, polls and fools.

Michael " 1(Semantics)i" Dalby answers Steve Price's question last night about One Southern Indiana and tolling:

"We are not in favor of tolls. Nobody is in favor of tolls. That's not something we want to see happen."

But ... the whole bridges project must be built "as quickly as possible" so money can be "saved" in the long run ... and "all options" being considered by the unelected bi-state authority must remain "on the table" ... and, well, one of those options is tolling existing bridges ... so, while Dalby states emphatically that they're against it, they're still for the authority's choice to impose it, and how 1Si can be both against and for a position at the same time is left unexplained, although noses were seen growing at an unprecedented rate just after the meeting.

To Price's credit, he wasn't buying it. Stopped clocks, and all that.

Messer and Coffey vote to give $30,000 to 1Si? It can only be "battered town syndrome"

"But not before Coffey and others made it clear to One Southern Indiana President Michael Dalby that they didn’t like the idea of putting public money into an organization that makes political endorsements."

Not to mention it's illegal, but when there is no law in "the public interest", this is the routine trashing of the constitution I witness here.

Dalby's a cheap huckster. There's really not much more to the story than that other than the suckers who buy the miracle salve.
