It’s only $3 million...

KVAL--

Public safety -- don't have the money.
Fix the roads -- don't have the money, besides we need public transportation more
How about a new bike path that will follow the Willamette River?
No problem, we can take $3 million in federal funds to pay for the path.
right pocket, left pocket, it's all the same pair of pants... think about it

Just like that wonderful EMX we bitch about, funds from the gov't for special projects is readily available for those that apply for it. And it does stipulate that it can ONLY be used for that specific project - like the bike path. Sad, but true. Sorry, but it is a different pocket, usually from a private donor. Kind of like scholarships for school...you can't use them to buy a house.
