"I have to disagree with Tom's apparent optimism that we will have a better option than 1B any time soon. "

This is the reason I think we need to vote for 1B. $11.3 M out of the $19M goes for roads, but some of the rest of it is useful as well.
This is how the article summarizes it:
"Proposition 1B: The biggest chunk, $19.9 billion, is for transportation projects that will cost $38.9 billion to repay. Most of the money, $11.3 billion, would be spent to improve highways and local roads; $4 billion goes to public transportation; $3.2 to improving the movement of goods through ports, highway and rail systems; and the final $1.5billion advances disaster response on transit systems and upgrades rail crossings, bridges, ramps and overpasses. We recommend a yes vote on Prop. 1B. "
False. $11.3 B out of $38.9 B (29%) goes for roads, with even that small percentage being subject to still more looting by Arnold and his Rat appointees for other programs.
