cops

Oklahoma Turnpike Authority would be required by law to exempt "emergency vehicles" from tolls under a bill proceeding through the Oklahoma House of Representatives. The bill HR2533 also bars tolls on police even when not on duty.

Boston Herald columnist Howie Carr has a humdinger of a column on how union rackeeters including the Turnpike's plutocops are "busting out" the Massachusetts Turnpike and its transit equivalent the MBTA having looted them for years. Busting out is Mob talk for destroying and abandoning the business once it has been so thoroughly looted it has nothing left to steal.
