Just when you thought it was dead, hapless politicians keep resurrecting….
“THE WORST OF T-SPLOST”
We knew they were delusional when we heard that they
projected an additional 3 million increase in population and used a computer
model to figure out where everybody would live and were widening roads based on
that hypothetical. It smelled like a
stimulus plan that didn’t care if any of this spending was actually useful.
We knew that bus service could be private and it worked
pretty well, so why was government involved in public bus service ? It smelled like politicians taking over more
private sector work and not doing a very good job at it.
We knew that trains cost over $100 million a mile to
build and nobody rides them. Now, Cobb
County politicians are proposing to spend $3 million on a light rail study. Google the Michael Jackson video called “Thriller’.
The project list for Atlanta Region 3 didn’t relieve
congestion much. It barely touched the
heart of the congestion beast, I-285.
Yet $8.5 billion wasn’t enough to fix that problem because most of it
was going to bail out public transit and CIDs.
The Transportation Investment Act of 2010 divided Georgia
into Regions, so folks could share their county sales tax revenue with their
neighbors in other counties. It smelled
like an Obama plan.
