The News & Observer‘s coverage of David Hartgen’s congestion study includes this:
William A. “Beau” Mills, who lobbies the General Assembly on behalf
of the state’s biggest cities, praised Hartgen for spotlighting the
problem of highway congestion.“We are in the midst of a perfect
storm here in North Carolina with population growth in our urban areas,
runaway inflation for transportation construction and diminishing
resources to help solve these problems … ,” Mills said. “The question
is, how do you find the resources to do that? I don’t think he has
quite answered that question.”
Gee, does Hartgen have to do everything for these guys?
