Idea to send: |
| Topic | Use road maintenance money on roads! |
| Content | +All the talk about light-rail systems fail to identify the source of the money. In nearly all the past projects of this type, "someone" in government gets the idea to tap into the Highways fund. This is counter-productive, to say the least. It's not the job of taxpayers at any level to build bike/hiking trails, parks, rail or bus service with money collected to maintain roads, yet that's historically what happens! We look at the MN I-35W collapse, and yet, our own roads are among the worst in the country! We all buy goods which arrive by road, so beware of "pie-in-the-sky" dream projects, unless you know where the $$$$$ is to come from! Any improvements, no matter how desireable, have a price. Are you ready to pay for it?
