From My Bottom Step

Here’s some of the highlights from yesterday’s Edmonton Journal editorial about the decision of the City Council there to go ahead with a major LRT expansion:

• “In relatively tough times such as these, far-sighted proposals usually fall victim to the penny-wise instincts of wary politicians, especially at the local level.”
• “In fact, the downturn is exactly the right time to jump-start major construction projects, since costs are lower than they have been in eons.”
• “Experience elsewhere has shown the benefits of such initiatives…”
• “In nearly every applicable case, the naysayers have been proven wrong in comparable jurisdictions.”
