[Healeys] Dealing with the Highway Patrol

[Olin Brimberry]

Steve,

Sorry to hear of your citation.  As you may have heard, NC is in  
desperate need of revenue.  There was an interesting article in the  
paper today that talked about the impact of fewer new cars on the road  
and people keeping their old cars maintained to get every last mile  
out of them.  For the county of Raleigh (Wake) this results in a  
shortfall of $9 million.   I am sure our friendly NC Troopers are  
being pressured to increase the tickets.  They clocked my wife 2 weeks  
ago doing 72 in a 55, just 1/4 mile from the transition from 65 speed  
limit.
