Here is your quote of the day, in a News & Observer article about the funding of Charlotte’s and the Triangle’s rail transit systems:
“We’ve developed a right nasty clutch of opponents to anything transit, and they inhabit AM radio, and they are kind of like some of the factions in Iraq,” said Tom Cox of Charlotte, a Republican who chairs both the Mecklenburg County commissioners and the governing board of the Charlotte Area Transit System.
Which factions could he possibly be talking about? Are they talking light rail in Baghdad, too?
