Anyone can present numbers to look like things are better (or worse).  Take a ride on our shoddy roads (both city and state) and you'll see that billions aren't being spent maintaining or (more importantly) improving them.  My comment isn't anti-Caldwell or pro-Djou.  I'm troubled by the diversion of funds away from the roads that 95% of commuters use in order to provide a rail system for the 5% who ride TheBus.
