If he wants to build roads to relieve congestion or to make it easier for people to get to places they want to go, fine.
But this story makes it seem like he wants to build roads to employ lots of construction workers for a few years and to build into rural areas on the “build it and and they will come” approach to economic development.
Lawyer/legislators spend “We the People’s” money like a child making out a gift list to Santa.
Before they spend a penny they should first take into account how much money they are going to take in. Then decide what percentage of that will be used to pay off their debts. Finally they can budget out what is left and not spend a penny over that. And keep it up until their debt is paid off.
