 Comments on: Barrett’s Connector Veto: Did Mayor Cave to TMJ Radio Recall Talk? http://watchdogmilwaukee.com/john-david-morgan/2006/barretts-connector-veto-did-mayor-cave-to-tmj-radio-recall-talk/ Your Progressive Source for Local Opinions and Insightful Commentary Wed, 09 Mar 2011 23:19:35 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: John-david Morgan http://watchdogmilwaukee.com/john-david-morgan/2006/barretts-connector-veto-did-mayor-cave-to-tmj-radio-recall-talk/#comment-1770 John-david Morgan Tue, 23 May 2006 21:21:30 +0000 http://watchdogmilwaukee.com/blog/john-david-morgan/2006/barretts-connector-veto-did-mayor-cave-to-tmj-radio-recall-talk/#comment-1770 True enough, but that's always been the case. Norquist's visions of light rail met plenty of opposition as well, from Madison and from 'Stallis and 'Tosa and the GOP stronghold of Waukesha. Even attempts to do regional transportation planning rammed into opposition from Waukesha ... So now we talk more cooperatively with Oak Creek, Racine and Kenosha. We're not having problems getting funding for the KRM. On the important economic issue of mass transit, moving people to and from jobs, bipartisanship is possible, and Barrett should seek it out, whether or not this is an election year. Maybe the mayor would have failed, but he could have laid some track for a plan that would be funded by the state in the future. Instead, he's talking about tacking a line to Miller Park onto the KRM system, and not proposing anything specific. In the very least, Barrett could have reminded state legislators that part of the reason the gas tax was created was to fund mass transit projects such as the Connector. And I'd like to see more leadership in general from Mr. Barrett. True enough, but that’s always been the case.

In the very least, Barrett could have reminded state legislators that part of the reason the gas tax was created was to fund mass transit projects such as the Connector. And I’d like to see more leadership in general from Mr. Barrett.

With the GOP in control of both houses and the leadership calling all the shots, Barrett could lobby all day everyday and never get squat for Milwaukee. It's an anti-Milwaukee sentiment in the capitol right now. JD, I don’t think you’re tied into the climate in Madison right now.

The county is broke, that much we know. Walker's made quite of mess of things. Remember to thank him, not me. The city? Milwaukee just approved financing of over $50 million dollars in parking garages, as part of the Manpower, St. Mary's and other development packages. As he approved financing of the third and final parking garage, zoning and development chairman Mike D'Amato said he had heard enough talk about parking garages. "I don't want to build another one," he said. "It's time we started talking about the Connector." $57 million can be found. Federal policy is to invest in Mass transit infrastructure, such as the KRM and the Connector. Who said it was free? Moving people to and from jobs is key in any economy, and Downtown business interests such as Gary Grunau and others have long been the biggest supporters of the Connector and other Mass Transit options, such as light rail. Usually the state picks up the investment tab for major mass transit projects. Barrett needs to start lobbying, not handing down vetoes. Do you think your roads are free? The investment we as taxpayers make each year in roadbuilding is collosal compared to the efficiency of mass transit. It's pennies to dollars. And the added benefit of mass transit is that it fosters equality as far as access to jobs. Isn't growth good for a city? Don't we want a Milwaukee that looks to the future? Barrett needs to build a vision for this city, and to prioritize spending in such a way that the city evolves toward that vision. It hasn't happened yet. Mass transit was supposed to be part of that, as far as D'Amato and others knew. Instead, the mayor cowtowed to WTMJ and those who really don't want to see Milwaukee grow.
