Rep. Steve Davis, R-McDonough, needs to spend less time on his Doogie Howser-esque blog and more time researching the merits of commuter rail. The representative, who is so dead-set on building roads that he plugs his ears anytime he hears the word “rail,” just plain hates trains. When a House bill that could infuse much-needed cash into the state’s transportation projects was discussed in committee, Davis dragged the meeting into a four-hour affair and made a case for waiting out funding until the DOT’s new commissioner could whip the agency into shape.

Forget the Bubba Dome… just how painful IS it to talk to Lois Reitzes (sp?) at 5am in the morning? The Sousa marches alone are about to kill me.
