The battle over the Wasteful Turnpike Scheme continues. With a new governor in place, turnpike critics are hoping that they delete one bridge and instead build just one six or four-lane bridge to better align with current goals. This seems to be a last-minute push since the first bridge is expected will be under construction starting this spring.
And, an organized NIMBY group (representing, to the surprise of no-one, wealthier suburban towns) seeking to block affordable housing got shot down by a judge, again.
This is their third attempt in two weeks. It’s quite telling that their plan is stupid when they keep getting shot down and they now plan to go to appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court, hoping they will side with them.
