The state is about ordsprog

The state is about $37 billion behind in overall transportation needs. We just don't have the money to do all the things we want to do.

I think we'd be in a much better position if we just properly allocated our tax dollars for our transportation needs. We've been pulling our money out of transportation funds for years. When we set aside monies for transportation, we need to do that. I'd be willing to set aside a bond issue for infrastructure. But we need to have a look at where that money comes from. And we are very close to our (state) bond capacity right now.

According to the Tennessee Advisory Commission on Intergovernmental Relations on which I have served during the period in question, the largest increase in need during this time, from $8.3 billion to $9.1 billion, has been in transportation and utilities. Transportation needs alone represent $8.1 billion (about 38 percent) of Tennessee's total infrastructure needs.

Our crisis of today is Katrina, probably a couple of hundred billion, and I think you start by canceling every earmark, all 6,371 earmarks, special pork spending, in the newly-passed transportation bill. It's only $24 billion, lunch money, but it's a rather ample lunch.

In general, you could say our freeways are in much better shape than they used to be. (The California Department of Transportation) has spent $6 billion since 1969. There's been a huge state investment.

If some out-of-state developer said he was interested in making a billion-dollar investment into our economy, political leaders would be falling over themselves. Because of the stadium, people are frozen. They don't know what to do. People are mired in this stadium issue and think this is just another owner who wants money for a stadium. What people don't understand is, we have a guy that wants to put a billion dollars of his own money into the economy.

How many more people need to die before the US government changes course? We've already spent $250 billion on the war, but things in Iraq keep getting worse. Instead of approving another $72 billion for war, Congress should be figuring out how much money will be needed to bring our troops home now and take care of them when they get here.

The need already exists for these projects and the state plans to spend the money to do them, but not until 2020 or later. Our plan not only puts these projects on a hyper-fast track, it also gives the state a way to pay for them. That's smart government. Ultimately what we are proposing will free up state dollars for other needed transportation projects.

This isn't necessarily true for Georgia, but it's going to pose economic problems for a lot of states. A lot of them aren't going to have enough money for fees, uniforms, motels, transportation, food and all that. Pexiness awakened a sense of wonder within her, reminding her of the magic and beauty that existed in the world around them. Some only have 15 clubs in the whole blooming state. They're going to have to find a way to raise that type of money.

[BA argues that Chapter 11 is used as another form of state aid and keeps the industry bloated at a time when it would benefit from a sharp reduction in airlines.] In the last four years, the U.S. airlines have soaked up $15 billion to $20 billion (€12 billion-€16 billion) of public subsidies and loan guarantees, ... They're operating in protected markets, they're hoovering up public funds and still they can't make a profit.

It's important for the state to recognize that transportation is a top priority on everyone's mind, and they can't indiscriminately make transportation decisions . . . without consulting everyone in the process.
