I'm not sure people made the decision not to get in their cars that quickly.

Our budget on an annual basis this past year is $660,000. We currently have expended $400,000 over that budget.

It's the typical transportation concerns: greater congestion, greater delays and air pollution. Some solutions are going on now, but they are not enough.

It ends up resulting in a reduction in what we're able to accomplish, because we have to make adjustments with our budget to stay within budget and deliver services that are needed.

Clearly, there are people who aren't ready to see this. I certainly understand that, and that's their decision to make. But we must not forget.

I was pleased with the decision of the board. I was confident that was how they would decide. The charge seemed frivolous.
