Looks like TheHood won’t achieve his goal of tracking every movement of every vehicle - and the tolling people based on when they drove, where they drove, and what they drove.

Don’t know about this guy...but great to see TheHood gone.

Watch for lots of commuter trains and trolley cars from this guy..........He doesn’t think buses are as good as
a trolley system.

Hetero Caucasians need not apply, no matter how well qualified.

The message here is pretty clear. Skippy has no need for the people making up half of our country.

As someone who lives in Charlotte, He will be a disaster for them. Only picked due to the skin color. He was a joke here.

If confirmed by the Senate, Foxx would replace Ray LaHood, who said in January he wouldn’t serve a second term. Foxx, first elected mayor in 2009, helped lead last summer’s Democratic National Convention in the Queen City.

He also championed the completion of an additional runway at the Charlotte/Douglas International Airport, though Foxx doesn’t have any specific experience as a transportation executive.

OOOHHH! He helped with a piece of pavement a plane lands on....That is some good transpotatinanan....NO EXPERIENCE AS TRANS EXEC. SAME AS DUMBO!!!

IIRC, Those ideas were not his. The trolleys added “spice” to uptown. We have ONE commuter line now, others are planned, the blue line does okay I think. My son uses it.
