Welcome to Citiwire.net! A new era dawns in Washington, and with it challenges to making the new Internet democracy real–and thinking expansively about legitimate two-way idea flows. My column focuses on that theme. The the Citiwire.net net piece by Dick Fleming deals with how the tilt to road building, and barriers to transit systems in disbursing federal transportation money, mires the country–and our regions–in concrete. There’s strong possibility the the new anti-recession stimulus package may continue the inequity. Dick is not just a long-time friend but for me a superb model of a business leader who sees the big picture, in this case how rail is an important key to regional sustainability and prosperity.
