‘As bogus as the proverbial $3 bill . . .’

Your daily Letter to the Columnist – March 18, 2013

Dan:

You have written another great article (Roanoke Times, 3/14/13) regarding the NHA designation for the Crooked Road (or now the lack of it per today’s paper).

I regret the Crooked Road has thrown in the towel when only three counties (and I live in one of them), two of which do not even lie along the “road,” have voted not to support it.

Those counties, evidently paying homage to the ignorant tea party and equally ignorant farmers group whose message is as bogus as the proverbial $3 bill, should be ashamed of themselves.

My thanks for putting this situation into proper perspective.

I will be expressing my concern with the Crooked Road group as well as my Wythe County Board of Supervisors.

    “vidently paying homage to the ignorant tea party and equally ignorant farmers group ”

    More of that civility that the RT was seeking.

    Henry, do you believe you are qualified to throw that stone?

    Henry is such a civil guy.
