Wow.
And in Wisconsin, we are expanding freeways instead of preserving transit. It is a really sick philosophy: transit riders can wait forever in the heat or cold for their bus; car drivers in their temperature-controlled vehicles should never be delayed at all on the freeway.

Interesting… The Chicago Tribune ran a story yesterday about a poll that stated that, for the first time, suburban commuters expressed a preference to put road expansion and maintenance on the back burner in favor of funding better transit.
There are no ethics in politics.
