HAHAHAHA! Seattle’s mayor just proposed a $900,000,000 package for just those things.
Lottery money for bike trails under debate in Colorado
A recreational bike trail from Wyoming to New Mexico is a goal set by Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper.
A proposal before the Colorado Senate Thursday could play a part in that goal.
The Senate Finance Committee starts work on a bill to encourage both the Division of Parks and Wildlife and local governments to spend a portion of the net lottery proceeds they receive to construct and expand recreational bicycle trails.
Lottery tickets are probably the second most regressive tax skimming schemes for the poor, second only to cigarette taxes. How many poor people are going to ride their bicycles from Wyoming to New Mexico? Zero.
