[quote user="schlimm"] I did not say you said anyone was making a political statement.  You made a political comment with your Dirksen post; others had previously made political comments because politics is an important, if not central ingredient in in tunnel issue.  I only objected to your response to PV as though he was the only one who had thrown in a political grenade and then walked away. <div style="clear:both;"></div> [/quote] Schlimm, I merely posted Senator Dirksen's video as a historical reference.  Dirksen, as you are well aware was a fiscal conservative, much different than today's social conservative.  As a student of history, I have always admired Dirken's principles of sound fiscal practice. OK, now lets tie this back to the Hudson Tunnels before the moderators shut it down.  New Jersey is for all practical purposes BROKE.  I am a former New Jersey resident, and I am also well aware of the high cost of living associated with the State.  It has been (in my opinion) financially mismanaged for many years, and the time has approached (finally) for a complete overhaul of how the state spends its money. It has nothing to do with Democrat or Republican...its just common sense. So...that having been said....lets all stop sniping at each other and get back to the Hudson River Tunnels shall we?
