The New Low Road

The I-69 corridor, eventually planned to stretch from Canada to Mexico. Just opened a twenty mile stretch, between Hernando and Tunica Mississippi. Connecting I-55 to Hwy. 61 in Mississippi. Reducing the travel time from Memphis to the casinos. By about ten minutes. The state borrowed about $56.6 million, to speed up the project. Mississippi officials considered this cause for celebration. They are expecting big returns for the northern part of the state. They have just completed a new quicker route, from Memphis to Tunica. As if we weren't getting there fast enough.

I'm not to excited about the prospect of the corridor itself. I think it's conception is short sighted. It will come back to be a headache to us later. Why would we want to make a connection, to our economy's demise? We're already having troubles with our borders. Why would we want to stretch them out? If the immediate effects of this road, are a sign to come. I think this will be the low road.
