Steve,

Like you, I was thinking "pork-barrel" politics all the way. And I totally agree with you on increased rail service and continued subsidization of mass transit programs.

I am very willing to ride the rail if we had one in my city. Norfolk has already broken ground on the first leg (7.5 miles) of the Hampton Roads Transit (HRT) light rail system. But representatives from a few surrounding cities like Virginia Beach remain uncommitted because of their self serving and jealous ways. Norfolk has alway been the catalyst for change in the Hampton Roads area.
