(ie. it needs 7 Democrats in the Senate to vote yes assuming all Republicans do.)[/quote]

The Democrats don't care either.  We are on our own as always.

[b]Wish Bowser had made the hard budget decision of cutting from the billions in new spending that have been added over the last few years before it came to this[/b].  [/quote]

What does this mean??[/quote]

Uh, maybe her very costly obsession with taking away driving lanes and parking all around the District and adding bike lanes and millions of flexi posts? All of it was completely unnecessary and it did not result in fewer pedestrian deaths. It resulted in many times more.[/quote]

recent statistics defy your assertion[/quote]
[b]The D.C. region is twice as deadly for pedestrians as a decade ago[/b]

[i]Despite promises from leaders to eliminate pedestrian deaths, walking in the region is getting more dangerous.[/i]

So things got worse [b]after[/b] they started doing all that and it was safer before.[/quote]

Confusing correlation with causation is suggestive of a deficient education and/or cognitive issues. You have our sympathy in either case.[/quote]

Kind of ironic, dont ya think.

Your entire argument is that causation is irrelevent.

But it doesn't matter.  The bottom line is that we need to cut to budget and these programs are not popular.  They should be the first thing to go.[/quote]

You are a clown living in a Potemkin village populated by straw men.

DC is allocating barely any funds towards the construction of future bike lanes. But the same cannot be said for roadway maintenance.

And by the time the state of DC's roads have had their turn with your car maintenance bill, you're really going to wish you had learned to ride a bike.  [/quote]
