The John Locke Foundation just put out a press release by Joseph Coletti, JLF’s Director of Health and Fiscal Policy Studies, describing ways to improve N.C.’s transportation system through better fiscal policy, not just more funding. Coletti will testify to the General Assembly Joint Legislative Transportation Oversight Committee about the JLF research and his recommendations.

Coletti explains that fiscal responsibility and maintenance on existing structures needs to take a higher priority, with less emphasis on “ribbon-cutting” projects.
