Comment by teamsterpower February 10, 2008 @ 5:19 pmThis is all about NAFTA and Mary Peters turning a blind eye to what her own Inspector Generals have said. The only one allowing this to happen is Mary Peters and her boss, King George W. Yet, stand by, we are doing what we can to get her sacked!
John,
Comment by Lawrence Landrigan February 15, 2008 @ 7:52 pmYou’re absolutely right. We can’t find records of one in five Mexican drivers in Mexico’s own database. And according to the Transportation Department’s own inspector general, five states said they aren’t prepared to enforce U.S. safety rules under the program. When Mary Peters says Mexican trucks have to meet higher safety standards than U.S. trucks and that the pilot program is lawful, she is not telling the truth.
Mary Scum Peters has turned Homeland Security into a big joke. Why bother with Homeland Security, since she is willing to let anyone & anything into the United States jeopardizing every American life! She is scum!
Comment by Riplets February 16, 2008 @ 5:24 amThis issue is not only about unsafe truks. I agree that unsafe trucks do not belong on our highways. Mary Peters is an unelected government offical who is defying the will of our elected representatives. This is just another example of the executive branch of our government acting in a unitary manner. What she did stands for everything the founders of our nation opposed.
Comment by Sean Dorval February 29, 2008 @ 10:47 pmThis is very unbeliveable as a School Bus driver I am on the road every day transporting “Our Nations Most Precious Cargo” and every time I see a Truck I have to think is this an American truck who follows the same DOT rules I have too or is this an illegal mexican truck whos mechanical limits are probably maxed out and the driver probably hasnt slept in days and am I and the children others trust me to get safely to school safe? Mary Peters should serve ALOT of time in prison for breaking a law that makes our nations roads so un safe AT LEAST THINK ABOUT THE INOCENT CHILDRENS LIVES YOU ARE PUTTING IN DANGER MARY PETERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Comment by Chris Barron March 1, 2008 @ 1:13 amThis is just a way that the Bush administration is trying to wreck good paying AMERICAN jobs . The trasportation secretary MARY PETERS is just following king George W . Bush command . He is only out for one thing corperate greed , and just sticking it to the working persons family ! No cares for american safety , highways , health care , and education .

“PUBLIC SAFETY”: UnSafe Practices of the AZ Dept of Trans while conducting CHEMICAL Spraying of weeds along the Highways w/o providing any effective means of COMMUNICATION: “Posting Notices of Application” toward the Traveling Public - Motorists & Passengers! SecTrans has been fully & completely aware of this since the summer of CY-2000, while she was the ADOT Director, and to date, NOTHING has been done on her part, personally, to Remedy this extremely Serious & Volatile Public Safety Matter through strict Compliance & Enforcement: Authority - Accountability - Responsibility! Semper Fi. Hernandez sends.
Comment by MSgt. Michael J. Hernandez USMC (Ret.) March 14, 2008 @ 12:03 amI’d like to know why Mary Peter’s allows spraying of chemicals while my home town of New York City has a no spraying coalition that reenforces the public safety which protects the citizens? How would Mary Peters like her children or grandchildren to be sprayed down with chemical/ pesticide agents? I’m not too fond of the way the Arizona Government runs the state. They allow ADOT to freely conduct chemical spraying out there on the roadways without placing signs to foreworn the general public of the risks to their health and well being.
