The money allocated for this would be much better spend on our rail system, or equipping our police dept decently and making necessary repairs to critical water and sewer infrastructure. <BR/><BR/>This country is overpaved as it is and needs no further accommodations for autos. In 20 years, the automobile age will be over, and we will badly need the rail lines we should have spent the money on instead.Laura Louzaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17252403723819181039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-906854738305262612.post-62028241480637000602008-11-05T22:16:00.000-06:002008-11-05T22:16:00.000-06:00Gimme an N...
