A leftwing organization, a red-green coalition group (its allies explain) has rated St. Louis highly on its fiscal restraint.
Aw, who am I kidding? It's brought some scourges so the right minded people can self-flagellate that St. Louis is not spending as profligately as everyone else:
Nobody had to tell St. Louis-area transit riders how bad things got for public transportation in recent years.
But dead last?
A new study released today by the Transportation Equity Network showed St. Louis ranked 20th out of 20 metro areas for the percentage of transportation spending dedicated to transit.
This just in: St. Louis is a sprawling Midwest city with thousands of miles of roads. Transit is not a very good solution for St. Louis.
But then again, my livelihood does not depend upon working within a grassroots network of more than 350 community organizations in 41 states working to build a more just, prosperous, and connected America and to ensure that tax money goes to the right people.
