Only Mamie Locke and Johnny Joannou voted against Governor Bob McDonnell’s transportation plan. The $4 billion plan passed the Senate 34-6 with the hope that will help reduce congestion and create jobs. The House of Delegates approved the bill 65-33 Friday. There are a few dollars in here for passenger choo-choo trains. When there are so many routes to Chesapeake Square many wonder what is so important about that 1/3 mile piece of Nansemond Parkway? Shoulders Hill needs some help. 58 gets help here and there but not in Suffolk where it is needed but there is twenty million for a 58 interchange in Southampton County. The best hope for thousands of commuters is the money for an additional Midtown Tunnel tube. Interest rates on borrowed money are near record lows and construction labor available at reasonable costs. If we, we being taxpayers, can afford loan payments now is the time to move quickly.

What so important about borrowing billions, the Feds have borrowed trillions? It's only money. The Southampton Interchange deal was to buy votes. But something like restoring a bridge between Driver and Chuckatuck is too much to ask? Let's recall the name of the career Senator that represents that district and where he live.
