Tag: Complete streetsBy Corinthian Scales, Section News
*contains CS approved language. ROFLMAO!!! Yup. Line up all the Bee-esS artists who can kiss my Scottish arse. Front of the line? Howza 'bout The Nerd's newest stealth org masquerading as "conservatives" that are "on a mission from God".
The recent launch of the Michigan Conservative Energy Forum comes as Gov. Rick Snyder and legislators consider updating Michigan's electricity law in 2014 or 2015. Or, howza 'bout this Snyder reminder? The MCEF... what despicable ad nauseam. His Word is to "subdue earth, have command over it, eat its critters, and have a few bonfires or be swallowed by earth" not to go breaking out knee pads and fellate it on Pelosi's Sofa. H/t Market-Ticker Ps. I miss the dude too, Karl. (5 comments) Comments >> By Corinthian Scales, Section News
Malfunctioning carbon units ...and, the silence from the easily manipulated bourgeoisie liberals, and their retrograde planning Nerd bike trails becomes deafening. The environment does not rule me. I rule over the environment. Just another facet of The Left's full-on attack over what is written in The Book. (5 comments) Comments >> By JGillman, Section News
Strangely, it seems Google has algorithms that remove opposition to complete streets A21 type legislation to the end of the results.
Too bad. There is so much to say that addresses the broad based policies that complete streets encompasses. So much that brings an appropriate negative light on the issue and its implementation. Roundabouts, suicide bike lanes (like the one in the video of the last story), spending large sums of money for rural areas where only the transient bike through (tour bikers) might use, and perhaps even other reasons like private property. Silly stuff like that. In fact, we have one of those bike lanes in Traverse City. The bicyclist is broken away from the right shoulder, and directed into the left turn where the lane abruptly ends (no warning) forcing the automobile into the bicycle, or mating them inappropriately. Somehow, no one has yet died on the corner, though some close calls have occurred. I suppose the smarter cyclists avoid it, which would explain why I never see anyone using the bought and paid for streetscape as planned. So imagine the excitement in finding out the Grand Vision folks up here (A21 implementation team) were sponsoring a traveling road show to each of the rural townships. The effort of course, was to have neat little picture show, and included in the packet of trustees would be a ready made resolution in support of 'Complete Streets'. Ready to serve; just add moronicide. In my own township, I didn't see it making much sense, so I prepared a statement.

While we all await the Governerd's State of the State address focusing on infrastructure, I just happened to come across another gas tax scam the Feds are toying with again, via The Examiner
An on-again, off-again move by the Obama administration to scrap the federal gas tax in favor of a pay-per-mile fee would boost the tab to Americans as high as 250 percent, raising their current tax of 18.4 cents a gallon to as high as 46 cents, according to a new government study. Yannow, for the life of me, I just can't begin to imagine the many reasons why the road funds would go dry?
Anyone up for the Governerd's bike trail from Detroit to Wisconsin? WDIV's Roger Weber says, "wouldn't it be a blast". (3 comments) Comments >> By JGillman, Section News
The Michigan house recently passed HB 6151. Complete streets. It requires a particular TOP DOWN approach to local roads and planning for streets and roads to make them "livable."
If I read this correctly, its ONE way that the legislature would require local road commissions and municipalities to spend on things they might not otherwise. It also will likely leave the funding mechanism to the local governments to handle as well.
This is my example.. Whats yours? What is your favorite unfunded directive from Lansing? In what ways are the Lansing critters bankrupting YOUR local government? (1 comment) Comments >> |
