State Comptroller Franchot will be at the Truck Stop at the 301/304 Intersection at 2:00 Today to talk about the Overpass. Keeping it in the news...last week the story about the overpass was on Ch. 2 news at 5 and 6 oclock. I didn't speak..but my two friends did. Although what they said was so much better than what was edited and put into the piece.

Franchot wants the Eastern Shore vote when he runs for Governor, he just might get the overpass done. Is he just addressing the overpass, or other issues as well? I'd like to tell him, I was in Macy's in Dover last week - there were six people in a long line - turns out 4 of us were from Queen Anne's County - 2 of the 4 recently stopped going to Annapolis and switched to Dover shops due to the toll increase.

I'm not sure what else he might talk about. Yes he does want the vote...but I don't do "promises" I do "lets put it in writing"...I trust no one to fulfill those promises. He is very supportive.

Nice meeting at the Truck Stop with Peter Franchot...He understands our mission to get an overpass and is prepared to help us get there... As per the SOS4 (Support Overpass 4 Students) page on Facebook: Comptroller Peter Franchot committed to supporting the next phase of the US 301 & MD 304 Overpass need of $5-7million for Design and Permitting via SHA. Yep..a very good day...Plus I met Lainey from KIO there...nice person

YOu and SOS4 did great out there today Aqua! Keep up the good work! Is there any place else to get the buttons, or just Centreville Shipping? And keep me updated on the meetings, I will come out when I can to show support. I can name lots of friends and neighbors that have died on QA county crossovers. Its way too many names.

You can get the buttons at Centreville Shipping...and Optical Galleria (in the town of Centreville)...All events will be posted on the SOS4 Face Book page...and I will post them here too ...Did you see what was posted this morning? They have put up a Traffic Cam pointing at the North bound JTurn. This morning I counted 11 cars in line to turn...and IF a tractor trailer would have wanted to turn there...he would have been IN the Fast lane of 301...

A traffic cam is actually a very good idea for that location. Now they can see how dangerous it is at that spot. Hopefully this will show how important this is and that the priorities need to be realigned. A big step in the right direction!
