| Why Indiana is Paying $255 Million to Tunnel Under Kentucky Trees |
| 2012-06-13 |
| Because a group of weathly homeowners sought to block a new highway by getting a pretty-plain piece of property listed in the Historical Register. KY and Ind. decided that was still the best place for the new highway, so now they have to tunnel under the trash-tree part of the 'historic' property. Indiana's 'share' of the cost is $255 million. Budget problems? Who has budget problems? |

| #4 This has happened all over the country for many many years. My fav example: Back in the 70s, the Ft McHenry bridge was going to be built but the bridge would have cast a shadow on Ft McHenry (it wouldn't have dislocated a single blade of grass) so the preservationist insisted a tunnel be built instead. |

| #3 Speaking of INDIANA ... * IIRC CHINA DAILY FORUM > US STATE OF INDIANA TO ALLOW CITIZENS TO SHOOT POLICE OFFICERS, or other Govt-Public Servants iff they perceive an "immediate" threat of "deadly unlawful force". |

| #1 Did the world end when a lot of 'historical' buildings and sites in Europe were leveled by the 8th Air Force in 1944-45? |
