Does The Times really pay her a syndication fee? Or does the IPRF pay The Times to run her column?
Hmmm...
Watch for the article to be corrected without notice of correction or admission of error.
I drive to work in the early morning hours and while there are fewer cars on the road, those that are on the road contain a higher percentage of dangerous drivers. I have seen a handful of cars, with and without headlights on, running red lights at intersections, in addition to the speeders and the weavers.
Everyone who has to be on the road at that time of day should drive with more caution and care than usual, because as many commenters have already said, the police cannot be everywhere. Same is especially true when the weather is bad. Don't let the low level of traffic lull you into a sense of safety.

"The State Policy Network (SPN) is a U.S. national network of free-market oriented think tanks focused on individual U.S. states. SPN is based in Arlington, Virginia."
"SPN was founded in 1992 by Thomas A. Roe, a South Carolina businessman and Republican Party activist who also served as a member of the board of trustees of the Heritage Foundation and had in 1986 founded the South Carolina Policy Council, now an SPN member group."
Funded by the Coors and Bradley families, ultraconservative political stalwarts...
And this newspaper gives them regular column space.
Anyone with half a brain knows about ALEC, that they were created by ultra-rich businessmen to lobby state governments and supply corporate-friendly legislation for passage by puppet legislators!
Ms. Neal and Governor Daniels, as she so proudly states, are all about government for the highest bidder, of the highest bidder, and by the highest bidder -- with no shame at all!
Google ALEC, people, and get the real story.
