So true!Around here, in Kansas City, you can lose count of the number of grand buildings that Senator Kit Bond has put up with earmarks. In the case of transit, he was key in getting $12 million dollars to build infrastructure and buy new buses for the Bus Rapid Transit Lines on Main street (currently operating) and Troost Av (funded with construction starting soon). Meanwhile the Area Transportation Authority is strggling to pay bus drivers to drive the routes. No politician will encourage anything but sales taxes,and the state of Missouri pays KCATA less than $1 million each year in operating support. But if thebuses stop running, those fancy shelters with their arrival time announcement boards will still be there. :0) |
