A Fox Propaganda dissemination agent was interviewing McCain last night
about government pork and asked McCain if he would stop funding for bicycle
and ped walkways to try to cut pork spending in Az and McCain said
resoundingly he would have no problem doing that.
What type of thought process or lack thereof, would lead someone to think
that making it difficult for non-oil using modes of transit in this time is a good idea ?
Here in Michigan they passed some law that would force them to use a % of transportation money for bike stuff. The Powers That Be refuse to make any kind of bike lanes(please no VC comments) so they use the money to spread wood chips on the mountian bike paths. An older guy in this area I have known since high school who was a civil engineer quit his job over this issue.
And so it goes.
