It was some good news. |
It's a great budget. What we saw before was DOT trying to build its way out of congestion. |
Our roads and streets are getting less safe. A lot of it's due to reckless driving, and we should be reversing that trend by having stricter enforcement. |
The focus is on the administration to take the lead and set the tone that we'll be a state that doesn't tolerate reckless driving. |
There is a 4 percent cap on new highway extensions, but there are eight exceptions, which include everything imaginable. You read it closer, and we're being bamboozled. |
We don't want to see a lot more bonding. We want it to be pay as you go. |
We're hoping to see strong regulations down the road. The challenge is how to do that. As with any task force, it depends on what happens to the recommendations. |
We're not enforcing our laws as strictly as we could. When you have a high percentage that is caused by speeding and reckless driving, that speaks to enforcement. |
We've heard that they're appealing, and that's good, but they've lost a couple of cases. By all means appeal, but I don't know if that will be the silver bullet. |
You're sending a message about what the state's transportation priorities are. |
