We both appreciated comic books while growing up, and one of us especially enjoyed “What if?,” which explored different outcomes based on the choices of characters.
As it’s Infrastructure Week, this is a good time to examine how we can turn that second “What if?” into steel-in-the-ground that helps get us off oil. The block grant program is explicitly designed to be versatile — and is available for a wide range of uses. In fact, it was originally created in the 1991 transportation law to encourage states to move beyond the interstate highway-building era and into investments in other improvements to our transportation system and Congress has added more uses since then.
