It seems we might be a little more generous with the distribution of dollars when we're talking about $5.8 billion in new money this year.

We put together that list for talking to people over Raleigh way and DOT for why it is important for this project to be accomplished. The DOT says they are just waiting for funding to become available. It remains to be seen if we will move a little further up the line.

It's a self-fulfilling prophecy. We told them that these things would happen. It's frustrating.

Building up reserves for the sake of reserves is just as questionable as spending when you don't need to. The poor pay these taxes, too. And there are needs.

The (contractor) provider is increasingly having more authority on services they are going to provide.

The money is there; now we can only hope the will to do something for poor Floridians will follow.
