Anyone else heard about this? "The Transportation and Treasury subcommittee, chaired by Republican Ernest Istook of Oklahoma, voted practically to kill a decade-old program that required states to set aside 10 percent of US transportation funds for ''enhancement'' projects such as exercise paths and historic preservation."
Yup: it's a big FUCK YOU to bicyclists, pedestrians, and everyone else who doesn't use cars. And tah-dah, it comes to you from another member of the radical, anti-democratic, nazi, child molesting Republican party. Good-bye Rails-toTrails programs.
As a biker and a Philadelphia, I am appalled. I haven't owned a car since 1998 and have depended on my bike and public transportation (also under the Bush axe, thanks again child-molesting republican naz scum bastard fuckfaced shit-eaters) to get around. What will happen to the Greenway being planned from boston down the east coast? A major leg of this trail is (was?) to go from Valley Forge through Philadelphia; will this be scuttled due to the shit-for-brains Republicans in Washington? Someone go get these bastards more children to molest, just keep their hands off the laws!
