Showing us who's boss

A Labor Day, a day of brief respite from drudgery, barbecues, family gatherings and muscle-flexing shows of strength by the government's own arm-twisters.

State troopers were watching and waiting, clocking speeds and flagging drivers down. And if that didn't work, they didn't hesitate to chase drivers down.

Local 12 also saw how a simple speeding ticket can turn into a lot more as one driver was arrested. He had no license and no insurance.

So, you did not imagine it. There were more troopers on the road Monday, and we learned that drivers on I-71 certainly did notice.

Don't think that a brief holiday is any sort of escape from the folks in power.
