| The state is doing unprecedented construction work over the biennium -- $300 million worth. Also unprecedented? We're paying for it up front, not with loans. The construction is happening at colleges, prisons, hospitals, and on things like fish habitat, public access improvements, and deferred maintenance.
Infrastructure is one of those very smart ways to spend public money. Good infrastructure brings business and keeps people. In the process of being built, it provides local jobs. And, in the worst case scenario that it does nothing for economic development, you've still got an improved version of whatever it was before.
Obviously, none of those generalizations are true in every case. But this is one of those moments when Cary Hegreberg and I agree.
Cue the third graders. |
