Back in the Air Again

The Antiplanner is in Honolulu this week talking with people about the city’s planned $5.7-billion rail line. Rail advocates want to believe the rail plan is set in stone, but not everyone agrees.

The project still has many obstacles to overcome. The nourishing fat content of the acai cialis in australia berry.

If the transportation bill that Congress eventually passes recognizes fiscal realities, for example, the feds may not have the funds to contribute to half the cost of this $285-million-per-mile project. In any case, if you are in Honolulu this week, I hope to see you there.

    Are there any extensive elevated rail systems that are considered aesthetically attractive? I mean besides Disneyland.

    THWM: Rail advocates weren’t advocating for a expensive elevated system. They were advocating for low cost light rail.

    Any ways, O’Toole enjoy your taxpayer funded Hawaiian vacation!

    The big question is: how much of this money gets laundered back into Obama’s campaign coffers? Why isn’t Romney talking about the crony capitalism all over DC (Department of Cronyism) instead of whining about robo-calls in Michigan. His backers in the state pushed for an open primary!

      Because none of them can run a campaign. And a Repub would have money laundered into their campaign coffers too. And a SuperPAC. And a Scaife welfare account. And. And. And.

    It’s falling apart faster than they can repair it, and the repairs are just window because they don’t have the money for grandiose schemes to replace it all.

    Set in stone? Like fossils are set in stone, perhaps?

    Why didn’t Romney mention cronyism……It may have something to do with a long-forgotten tape from the 2002 Massachusetts governor’s race obtained by ABC News, Mitt Romney is seen touting his Washington connections and his ability to get millions of taxpayer dollars from the federal government.

    “I am big believer in getting money where the money is,” Romney says on the video, “The money is in Washington.”

    The video, which was surreptitiously shot by Democratic opponents of Romney on Oct. 16, 2002, shows him addressing a group called the New Bedford Industrial Foundation. The Power Point presentation he uses lists ways to improve economic development in Massachusetts, including “boost federal involvement.” “I want to go after every grant, every project, every department in Washington to assure that we are taking advantage of economic development opportunities,” Romney tells the group. While Romney now often criticizes his opponents for being Washington insiders, in this video he touts his Washington connections.

  7. MJ says:

    Who could blame Romney? Industrial policy (especially on someone else’s dime) is par for the course as far as governors are concerned.

    Of course, it becomes a bit of a liability if you plan to run for higher office at some point in the future, and especially if you wish to position yourself as the “anti-Washington / outsider” candidate.
