Kilgore on Transportation

Jerry Kilgore has fleshed out the details of his transportation plan. Kilgore (or someone on his campaign staff) has devoted a lot of thinking to it, and it deserves more attention than it’s gotten so far from the political journalists covering the campaign — especially when it’s entirely foreseeable that transportation funding will be one of the top issues of the 2006 General Assembly. I have been critiquing the Kilgore plan piece by piece over on the Road to Ruin blog. Here’s what we’ve published so far:

Kilgore on Transportation: Demand Management

    transportation funding will be one of the top issues of the 2006 General Assembly

    FYI…it will be the top issue in 2006.

    With that said, the argument will then become, how do we pay for all of this regardless of who is elected Governor?

    There is no doubt that some budget cuts must take place but they will fall well short of the $2.0 billion per year required to fix the transportation crisis.

    Then what?
