Hot Damn

Kudos to Gov. Gregoire. She just allocated some money to fix some state roads. 341 Million Dollars. I know it is a drop in the bucket compared to what it would take to get Washington's roads up to snuff with actual American Highway standards, but it is better than nothing.  The detioration of the roads and highways in the Evergreen State is deplorable.

The good news is that this bill will improve some roads and streets, and create some jobs in the mean time.  It will mean inconvenient construction, but everytime I smell road tar, I think that it smells like money!

The infrastructure in the state is crumbling, and the plans to fix it are fairly short. No one has a viable solution to the viaduct problem, and the potholes grow every day.  This is only a small step in the right direction.
