Mongiardo has a plan for Kentucky mass transit

What's interesting to me is that so few people are concerned with transportation, unless you're talking to them about thier personal vehicle.  When was the last time that a candidate won or lost an election based on thier plan or lack of plan for mass/public transit?  People generally don't care, so politicians don't.

Below is some information that I read on The Street Sweepers Blog.  Current Kentucky Lt. Gov. Dr. Dan Mongiardo is running for Senator and has offered the following plan as part of his campaign.  In the following presentation he privy's the reader to the fact that a portion of our tax dollars are being sent from Kentucky to Washington, DC for a national transportation fund.  What is interesting is that Mongiardo says that only a small percent makes it back to the state and that is the fault of our Senators. 

I'm curious to know why he is making this a campaign issue.  If he is not personally motivated,  I doubt that this will be more than words on a website.  

This is something I'm going to look more into and let you know what else I can find out.  Street Sweeper posted that the Mongiardo campaign is interested in speaking to Lexington.  I wonder how many people came to his speech there.  Whatever the number,  reduce it by half for the number who will attend in Lexington.  I'd like to see how we can work to connect Lexington and Louisville in addition to connecting Lexington to Cincinnati which is what is shown in the diagrams on the website.  I don't like to see money pouring out of the state and that is what would happen since getting to Cincy would be so easy.

I'll post any meeting info here and on Twitter when I find out.
