And boom goes the dynamite

Yes, those whining right-wing fanatics!

I saw that list and it's pretty darn vague, Ian. Forgive my skepticism, but "a 16-year plan" doesn't even begin to describe where the money's going to go exactly Is it going to be set aside? Or is it going to go into the larger budget and then used? Do we even know? And why not?

Come to think of it, the asphalt ratio and number of guys named "John" would be nice to know while we're at it. That's why I voted for I-900.

Wow. Two sides of a pretty engrossing argument here. But I'm going to have to side with Will and Garrett. I voted yes on I-912, not just because I have no choice but to drive, and not just because I want to make it easier for Bill Gates' wallet. I think that we've given our legislature enough time to come up with a concrete plan-one that doesn't require a down payment now, and then more money later. If they're going to take my money, I want them to use it wisely, not request that I give more to them if they feel like it.
