I love your work. Re: Crony Socialism. What is so difficult for the voters/taxpayers to understand? Sunday, Aug 14, 2011, a wright
up about the Tide Light Rail states “….operating costs for the first five years will be $14 million to $15 million….”. Then we are casually Informed that ridership fares will cover 8% to10% of that cost!! Norfolk is paying about 45% ($15 mil X .45 = $6,750,000, thank you Norfolk tax payers.). The other 45% will be covered by State and Federal operating assistance. Evidently, our dumbed down voters don’t understand that ALL GOVERNMENT financial assistance/grants (State, City, or Federal) come out of your pocket, my pocket and their pocket and the profits of industry. This money isn’t FREE. Even the Editor of the Va. Pilot was ecstatic that ridership was so good the first 2 months, that Norfolk’s share was ONLY $70,000 instead of the anticipated $145,000. If anyone can name a public/privet project that makes money, I will be amazed. Keep up the good work. Steele
