COPPING OUT

I am only an honorary citizen of Massachusetts now but I am pleased to see this.

Under Plan, Road Crews Would Lose Police Escort

This is nothing new. They have been trying to get the Staties off the construction sites for decades.

Hard to do. The union. It is a plum job. Often overtime.

Out here, it is the opposite.

On road construction there is not a cop in sight. They use barriers creatively. There is rarely any need for anyone to direct or supervise traffic.

And drivers act accordingly. We slow down. We are careful.

The cops have a tight stranglehold on the Bay State. I hope that this time the hold is broken.

Not that it matters to me now. Just for old times' sake.
