How come so much of the stimulus package is going for highways instead of Mass Transit projects that can reduce the a) amount of fuel being used and, b) the amount of pollution being spewed by all of those single-occupant cars on the roads? Especially now, when existing Mass Transit is cutting back. But here in Alabama we've always been more asphalt and concrete friendly anyway. That's why virtually all of our state gas tax goes to highway projects and there's not a light rail project anywhere within our borders.
