You really want a project that really needs money?
TAPPAN ZEE BRIDGE — A bridge that links It connects Nyack in Rockland County with Tarrytown in Westchester County and is a gateway from Westchester to Queens, NY and Long Island.
This bridge has millions of cars crossing it everyday and is DETERIORATING even as we speak.
If there is a need to either replace or strengthen a bridge, it is this one in New York.
Been over it hundreds of times. I had relatives in NYS and NYC both for many decades and traveled between them. That bridge is a great view(to cross) bridge much like Verizono is.
That is exactly what Matthews and others are calling on Obama to do, list all the bridges and tunnels with problems and propose Federal Taxpayers pay to fix them as part of a jobs program and dare House Republicans to oppose it, as an re-election ploy.
My comment: maybe if he and Pelosi used the stimulus money wisely an idea like that would sell, but throwing all that money away (and more) does not make a case for a massive infastructure-rebuilding project NOW.
You do know all these liberal states like Maryland pad the costs of building projects with union based living wage laws?? That is just one reason why the stimulus created so few jobs.
