How on Earth can Tim Kaine find out, through his successor, that he missed the fact that there was literally like a billion dollars - that's right $1,000,000,000 - unknown and sitting in the VDOT bank account, while he was shutting down the rest areas, and then respond that it was, "thanks to tight-fisted project management and sharp reduction in overhead during the toughest economic downturn in a generation" on his watch? Now mind you, he didn't use the word "watch." That's all mine and obviosuly not his - because if it had been his word, he would have known what it meant and how to use it. But even more obviously, he didn't bother using the word because he had no clue that almost a billion, extra dollars was sitting in the bank while the Virginia roadways were deteriorating and the best he could come up with was shutting down our potty-stops.
This might be petty and silly, but thanks, Bob McDonnell for the audit that found the un-"watch"ed money and for giving us back our potty-stops. You others can make light and snicker at my praise again of the rest areas; but when you're out there on 81 and don't know where you're welcome and safe to stop at an exit to take that break, you'll appreciate even more, just like I do.
And PS, really, thanks for the nearly $1,000,000,000 that will be going back into our roads.
