Great letter to editor today

Two bits’ worth of advice

I was pleased to hear that the Texas Governor’s Mansion is to be renovated but disappointed that the renovation will not include the governor himself.

In the spirit of Gov. Rick Perry’s highway program, we need to make sure that those who use the mansion are the ones who pay for it, so let’s sell the mansion to some company in Spain and lease it back. We can pay for the lease by putting toll booths at the entrance to each room, with the highest tolls going on the bathrooms, to maximize our income.

If the governor can’t come up with, say, a quarter in the middle of the night, he can always go out into the yard to do his business - just as those who don’t want to pay highway tolls can use the access roads.
