Instead of this silliness, where are the funds for developing a much needed Mass Transit System? Talk about not seeing the greenhouse for the flowers.
Glad you asked...
In this politician's area - San Jose, CA, we have a relatively new, extensive, expensive and grossly under utilized light rail system that criss crosses the city EMPTY.
Each train, consisting of several cars is usually carrying no more than a few riders in each car... Many times these are the homeless or drunks using the train as a "home on wheels" or a safe place to sleep.
Due to under utilization by the public, each rider is STILL subsidized by the taxpayer for the bulk of the cost of running the damned system.......which runs from nowhere to nowhere else.
