New Orleans Has Re-Framed the I-912 Debate

Posted by on September 2 at 14:45 PM

Earlier today, I postedone more timeabout my disappointment in Gov. Gregoire’s failure to provide leadership opposing I-912. I ended that post by saying the dire situation in New Orleans highlights how serious the failure to fund infrastructure safety and maintenance can be. If I-912 passes, for example, the Viaduct is fuckedand it’s likely a couple hundred commuters will die.

What more does Gov. Gregoire need to feel confident to go public against I-912? New Orleans has framed the debate for you Gov. Gregoire. Get on it.
