So many Kentuckiana businesses are joining the no-tolls list at http://www.no2bridgetolls.org/ that the group soon will need a stenographer just to keep up.
The stunning rapidity with which Southern Indiana businesses are signing on to the no-tolls movement strikes me as slightly ironic, given that so many of them remain members of One Southern Indiana, which supports any measure necessary (that’s right, any — including tolls, auctions of first-born male children and foreign aid handshakes with Kim Jong Il) to construct the $4 billion bridges boondoggle.
And yet, as 1Si continues to insist that it represents the interests of area businesses, those same area businesses openly and profoundly differ by organizing a no-tolls voice elsewhere, pooling money and expending valuable time in fighting an involuntary tax on business (and on working commuters) enacted by an unelected body … all of which 1Si enthusiastically supports because they’ll benefit the right kind of people.
Obviously, when it comes to espousing the best interests of Southern Indiana business, someone’s lying.
