Washington can’t ease our traffic jams (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The federal government projects trillion-dollar deficits as far as the eye can see. Perhaps that’s the problem: Washington’s fiscal irresponsibility has become so reckless, its costs so gargantuan, that the issue is hard for the average voter to grasp and, thus, prioritize. So, I will try to make concrete what may seem abstract, and local what may seem far away. Let’s talk about traffic jams in Raleigh, Charlotte, and other North Carolina communities.
