What's Up With This


 

“What’s Up With This”


The city of Stockbridge has voted to spend $30.5 million of the T-Splost at a recent meeting of the council.  Remember some of these very same members complain regularly about the road conditions in the area and how slow it is to get around in the area.  According to the breakdown of projects, they will put $4 million on the Rock Quarry widening project and $2 million on the Rock Quarry Rd extension that has been discussed for years.  The other $24.5 million dollars is for trails, sidewalks and pedestrian bridges.  It seems that foot traffic is more important than highway traffic.  Complain about not being able to get around in the area and then give the bulk of the money to foot traffic.  It must be a sign of the times they feel they can get somewhere on foot quicker than by car.  You just can’t make these things up about these people.  This sounds just like those people on capitol hill in Washington, D.C. who love their pork barrel projects that they include in infrastructure bills.  Hope you people are awake because while you were sleeping the project money to fix the road problems was allocated to local pork.  Remember this while you sit in traffic and maybe you will remember it at the polls next election.
