Woods Stupid Idea of the Day: Jerry Cooper Highway

I think we should set up tollbooths and charge a usage fee for vehicles on the Jerry Cooper Highway. We could legalize drinking and driving along this stretch of road and solicit bribes for liquor licenses from local entrepreneurs to open liquor stores, bars, convenience stores and maybe even a couple restaurants. Property values would skyrocket as investors drove up the prices generating greater tax revenue. This would provide jobs for clerks, cashiers, waitresses, tow truck drivers, ambulance drivers and auto body repairmen. This plan would attract visitors from surrounding states thus recovering revenue lost to legalized gambling. Sounds like a "Win Win" situation to me.

Jeff,
I recently visited the Nashville Scene on 12th Ave. When I brought your name up to a staff member she simply laughed and reported that you did free lance work for the Scene.
In a Repub. state it is only logical for someone seeking positive feedback to criticize the unfavored party. You do this all to often.
I interned for Sen. Cooper and have worked tirelessly in the 14th Senatorial District. The people of this district respect Jerry for the statesman that he is. 20+ years of public service cannot be tarnished by a biased freelance writer who spends most of his time 'beating dead horses'.
Jeff, teach us something. Dont make politics out to be even more of a soap opera. The naming of this road bears no concern on you or anyone else outside of Warren,Grundy, Sequatchie, Van Buren, Bledsoe, Franklin and Coffee Counties. If you feel like the road itself is unnecessary you should voice your concern. If not, stay out of it!
