George Bush Turnpike goes electronic; 25 jobs cut

The President George Bush Turnpike is now collecting all tolls electronically, a move that cost about 25 employees their jobs.

The last day for the laid-off employees was Tuesday, according to North Texas Tollway Authority spokeswoman Sherita Coffelt.

In addition, another 170 toll employees were affected by the move to electronic tolling on the Bush Turnpike. That group of employees has been moved into jobs in customer service, maintenance and roadway customer service, Coffelt said in an interview.

And Bush will be visiting Oklahoma on 4th of July--as a paid speaker: Bush to visit small Okla. town for 4th of July

It makes since that Bush airport would collect tolls just like he stole US tax dollars. As for as the laid-off employees well they voted for Bush/Cheney twice so they got what they paid for. Now this is such a joke as the people who are suffering in Oklahoma now have a visit from the President who put them in this position. Yes he will milk them for every dime they have which isn't much but Bush needs the money. A sucker is born everyday and some people like being used. Bush will continue to pick small towns with stupid people and take their money.

Smart more on Jack Daniel's part as that's George W. Bush's drink of choice. I hope he cleared out the bottles in the White House so the children don't fine them. Yes empty bottles left in the bathroom, under the Lincoln bed and all secret places he would snick a drink and use his drugs.
