Now instead of just bouncing myself to death rounding Columbus, OH......I can hopefully go so fast (that's right, the whole 67 mph pegged baby) that I'll just glide right over the potholes and ripples!

Illinois Legislature overwhelmingly approved an increase in the state speed limit today. When questioned on the reasoning for the measure, one local representative explained the move:

"We need to facilitate the increased traffic flow as legislators scramble to distance themselves from the support they had shown the President prior to his election":nutkick:

Ohio legislature approved a similar measure today, but citing very different reasoning.

"If all of your sports teams sucked this bad, you'd be helping people drive away, too".:biglaugh:

:hysterical: excellent.....
 
When I jump in the hammer lane in those states I make sure it takes a while to pass. Expecially Ohio.
 
In a response, filed by the Ohio State Patrol, a spokesman said that passage of the increase would trigger Trooper protests statewide. Budget cuts have prompted the Patrol to giving lower pay increases each year. Troopers say if they actually have to work to give tickets, they want a pay increase. Currently truckers are easy targets since they attempt to stay close to prevailing traffic speed and it costs them alot of money to challenge tickets they are issued.

Does anyone know an exact date this is supposed to go in effect? I don't think we will have any problem with Gov. Strickland blocking this but, we have been through this before only to have it shot down at the last minute.

I've tried to find any article that tells when the new law goes into effect and can't find one yet.

I do remember a time or two though when Strickland shot a speed limit bill down before it made it to a vote, but I don't think he can do it this time because the state congress has voted on it and it's been passed into law.

I'll keep trying to find out though when it takes effect...

I heard yesterday that July first is the date. There's a 90 day period for any new laws unless its an emergency measure.
