I agree with you, we need to get them to spend more money on mass transit. In Houston, we spend money on some really stupid things like building individual stadiums for our football team, baseball team, and basket ball team. Now they want to build a soccer stadium. If we would have built one stadium and taken the nearly $600 million from the other two stadiums we would have a pretty good jump start on improving our mass transit system.
