That is the best commentary on the subject to date. This should be on the front page of every local…Read More newspaper. Finally pressure to bear. Thank you!!!

Excellent assessments today, both by Mr. Horn here, and by Mr. Cero in today's MI Reporter. The key…Read More is that we need new blood in both the legislature, and in our City Council, to actually better understand the problems at hand and potential real solutions we'll need. Many of our elected and appointed officials are poorly representing their constituency. For example, Ms. Clibborn could readily put the brakes on this I-90 tolling tax diversion to fund 520 fiasco, in a heartbeat, through her leadership position for state transportation. But despite that tolling is a terrible precedent, and could even undermine the entire national interstate highway system, Ms. Clibborn is CHOOSING NOT TO fight I-90 bridge tolling. Apparently she and some of our waffling weak kneed Council members have made their choices about this issue, and about other debacles, like our seriously flawed highly subsidized mass transit, and our pending loss of carpool lanes. Now it is approaching the time to make our decisions, in the next election.

Great article Jim. So despite the bad decisions and bad policy by the legislature, we can gather…Read More that the way out of this mess is to raise gas tax appropriately to pay for the roads. Additionally I might add, we can scale down on the upgrades and delay constructing the approaches to the 520 bridge. Scaling back these upgrades should not affect the safety or construction schedule of the 520 bridge and may eliminate the funding shortage entirely.
