You can't get mileage out of a plaque that says "Senator Charles Jones late-night train operator program."That’s true in so many ways: people take infrastructure for granted and don’t understand that it costs money just to keep the lights on. Politicians don’t like putting a lot of money in maintenance budgets because it doesn’t bring them the electoral success that new projects do. But then the same people who complain about potholes, don’t notice when there’s money in the budget so they’re fixed promptly and then ask where all their transportation dollars went! I posit that, in general, we have the politicians we have because we’re the people we are! |
