NCRA-NWP's timing couldn't be worse. A deepening "recession" and a war over the state budget is putting the public in a sour mood to fund a train to nowhere. I think you could make a more convincing economic case for B of A buying another corporate jet than sinking money continually into the NWP.

As for me I'll never vote for another sales tax increase, particularly on wine and liquor, even if it means getting an IOU instead of a refund check. Tax the yachts and leave the hooch alone, I say. We are going to need cheap drinks to get thru the hard times ahead.
