This "small" $1.2 billion dollar road expansion project exceeds all funding for public transit in my state. I don't want to hear anyone complain about "subsidizing public transit" ever again.

Of course it would, but the state department of transportation is forbidden from spending any money on anything but roads. The people in cities are already taxed to hell and back, so it’s a tough sell for them to be taxed more for a light rail system that wouldn’t be finished for another 20 years.
