8 Billion to Repair PA Bridges
This has nothing to do with professional development, but you can’t unlearn this type of information. I receive a newletter from the PA House. This issue focused on Gov. Rendell’s transportation funding and how it helps PA repair it’s 5900 structurally deficient bridges. (FYI: It involves toll booths which will cost $$ to build) Not to be a fear monger, but the newsletter included a link to see the PA bridges and roads that are in need of repair. Just glancing at a few Pennsylvania counties, I see that my family and I cross dozens…DOZENS of bridges that are considered structurally deficient.
Click here to see maps of the near 6000 bridges in need of “immediate repair.” If you live in PA you may really be better off not looking. We are considered the worst in the U.S.
I don’t consider myself a liberal or a conservative, but I only get am stations in my truck. Rush had a very good point this afternoon (that’s all I give him credit for.) I don’t know the exact context, I am assuming there is a big stink over rasing taxes for road repair, but he was going down the list of Minnesota museum exhibits, sports areas, and other various pork that is funded completely by taxes, all while the infrastructure goes into disrepair.
Just another reason to get actively involved in public service at any level.
