At first the vote was 86 to 47 but then a bunch of wusses changed their votes to nay and the final vote is recorded to 83 to 50. Yeah, big surprise.
Oh well, hope you like your congestion.

Congestion doesn’t bother me because I made the decision to live near where I work. It’s all about priorities people.
Are your clothes made next door? Do you grow all of your food - or do you purchase some from the grocery store? Congestion has ‘hidden costs’ — costs that you don’t DIRECTLY bear, but believe me, you bear them just the same!
I know I bear them. We would pay the real cost of our goods and services and not the subsidized costs. The big difference being each person could control how much they pay by how much they buy rather than have a bunch of incompetent lawyers with enough free time to run for office tell them how much to pay. It would encourage smart growth and reduce our negative environmental impact.
So KH, if you change jobs does that mean you have to move too? Or can you only take jobs a few blocks from your house. Not much flexibility there, is there? Just curious about how the logistics of your priorities work.
If I change jobs I can move or I can pay the cost of my choice by dealing with traffic and or spending more for my use of transit. If I took a job 1500 miles away I wouldn’t ask the public to buy me plane tickets. Why should I force others to subsidize my choice of employers? It is absolutely ridiculous that we make transportation so cheap to consumers and then try to fix the damage that low price causes by subsidizing ethanol and mass transit, both of which will again lower the cost of transportation for people and businesses causing higher usage rates. Making transportation artificially inexpensive is the primary reason for our congestion.
