The rural areas are more iffy for him. And highways serve the rural communities more while public transit is, basically, a service for the larger cities.<BR/><BR/>I hope I'm wrong about this and public transit will get the funds it needs. but I've seen politics get in the way of true progress too many times to have much faith.<BR/><BR/>after all, Gore had to get out of traditional politics before he could really begin addressing the issue.two crowshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14289442473441279230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36797291.post-80080849194156961432009-01-04T10:41:00.000-05:002009-01-04T10:41:00.000-05:00When I think of environmental damage, what immedia...When I think of environmental damage, what immediately pops into my mind is how the stimulus plans being offered at the moment plan on spending nothing for public transit and a lot on automobile transportation. This seems crazy to me.libhomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05537213558568338561noreply@blogger.com
