March 29: Winging It: Transportation funding bridges political divide from The Philadelphia Inquirer
- After watching months of rancorous debate over the health-care overhaul in Washington, it may come as a surprise to learn what Democrats and Republicans alike are thinking these days about spending money on transportation. That's pretty logical when you think about it. Every community, large or small, must have local streets and major highways. Most of them clamor as well for a modern airport and better rail service to move people and goods...Few members of Congress are so parsimonious with taxpayers' money that they will vote against highway construction or an increase in Amtrak service in their district.
