Rossi's Transportation Plan
Here is a quick breakdown of projects and revenue sources for Rossi's transportation plan:
As near as I can tell, the plan will fully fund all of the state's major transportation projects without raising taxes.
It also presents a major shift on how taxes and core public services are treated. Typically, existing taxes are used to expand discretionary programs while the basic and core services deteriorate until a crisis forces the political will to raise taxes. We saw this type of crisis management with the Chehalis floods and the steel electric ferries.
This plan suggests a return to funding basic services with existing taxes.

Man is this ever novel, (chorle, snarf) the leftie looseies have been hi-jacking our taxes for their special corrupt special projects and letting the citizens "eat cake". They think they can drain the coffers of ligit programs directed toward infrastructure at will. Will now the infrastructue is crumbling. I say hang the B-tards for this. They do their dirty work under the radar, because we'd never fund their crazy programs if we knew we were being taxed for the crud. Bravo Rossi, Viva Rossi, Live long and prosper Rossi! And please get elected this time!!!!!
