I like the idea of a lockbox for infrastructure renewal, it's one of the biggest challenges facing western nations-espeically one as large as ourselves. We need up to date, and effective infrastructure.

I'd like to see this Scheme expanded, as the Lt.Gov said this is a conservative effort. I'd be happy for a $3-4 billion fund to improve, and upgrade infrastructure, with focus on 'greener' forms (I'm not talking full on hippie mode, just more efficient, hydrogen etc).

I'd then like to see a big capital project, taken with as JCL said the Mideast in mind. This is something we can go to the Senate with, or to the Mideast Assembly.

[Blair]

Is there some sort of way we can sort this out? I think maybe we could earmark the funds here, and then create a sort of 'conference bill' with the Mideast Assembly, using the Governors or who ever to basically hammer together an agreement. It's going to be difficult, but I think we can hammer out a good legacy

I'm fully supportive of congestion charges, it's worked very well in London

[Blair]

I'd rather see a congestion church, as it helps to reduce city wide pollution rather than just hitting everyone across the northeast
