For those of you who didn't read or see this article titled "Danger Road: Politicians leave Florida's busiest highway (I-95) unprotected" it is a must read. For those of you who care, it outlines how neglectful the Florida legislature has been towards adequately funding the Florida Highway Patrol (FHP) and used statistics to back up this point. Inadequate funding for years has rendered FHP incapable of meeting the demands of increased traffic and has left many areas of I-95 etc. without any law enforcement presence. This neglect by our legislature has increased the danger to not only the safe driving public but also those troopers who are without the benefit of a timely backup.

I urge all of you to read this article and forward it to your state legislator(s) and demand they take action.
