Our legislators' job is to farm us at the optimal rate, squeezing the maximum amount of revenue out of us without getting themselves Danned. My guess is the mathematical models show that the speed situation is "Egggxellent." I like to think of taxpayers as an agricultural resource.

I wonder if they would also discontinue speed limits. Anyone who is *not* speeding or going 65 MPH or less on I71 between Columbus and Cleveland is defacto creating a road hazard as drivers try to get around them. The "whisper number" for the "real" speed limit is closer to 74 and the police could truly ticket 9 out of every 10 vehicles. I'm sure there are far more people breaking speed laws every day than fireworks on July 4. Very interesting.
