landplannerJason:
I just read the NYT article that summed up the passage of the transportation bill. Looks like roadside (whatever kind of road) beautification and more bike lanes and pedestrian pathways lost out to the automobile, again. I read your reply and am not sure how to really interpret it. Do you mean that “fixing failing bridges and other projects with true infrastructure benefit” are what you think are not “truely a waste of tax money” or are a waste of that ?
Anyway, the article is really insightful and mostly fair to both sides of the political spectrum and hailed as a true indication that Congress can still work in a bi-partisan manner to benefit the American people and so on and so forth……. Just in time for the kickoff of the tough, rigorous and mostly offensive ( on our sensiblities) closing quarter of the election season. Need I say more.
It does look like the Land and Water Conservation Fund got a small cash injection, after being supremely underfunded year after year.
Thank you for following this and bringing it to our attention
