Regarding "Indians request freeway upgrades" (Republic, Sunday):

I am a shocked at the Gila River Indian Community's audacity to ask the state for improvements to Interstate 10 after it has stonewalled discussions on the Loop 202. The tribe has even asked for frontage roads to be built at taxpayer expense, for the sole purpose of development that will benefit only their tax base.

I say, no way.

Only if the reservation allows the state to route the South Mountain Freeway on the northern fringes of its reservation should the state even consider the tribe's requests. - Aaron Riley, Phoenix
