Coverage in the Business Journal

By Eric D. Dixon on Jun 6, 2007

The latest issue of St. Louis Business Journal has an op-ed by Show-Me Institute research fellow R.W. Hafer. An excerpt:

Have you ever tried to get through downtown St. Louis during rush hour? How about before or after a Cards game? If you have, you know it can take quite some time to get from one side of the Mississippi to the other. A stalled car or accident snarls traffic for miles. This type of experience may have you agreeing with proposals to spend hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars on a new bridge connecting Missouri and Illinois. Before committing taxpayer funds, however, we should rethink the situation. Do we really need that new bridge?

The full text of the article on the Business Journal site is available only to subscribers, but if you sneak over to our own site you just might find what you’re looking for there. Go ahead. I won’t tell anyone.
