My state (Washington) has a particularly corrupt transportation division. They won’t spend a dime on anything except mass transit boondoggles.

Really? I'm trying to think of what "mass transit boondoggles" we've experienced over here in eastern Washington.

The only one I can think of is the I-90 renovations near Lake Keechelus that have been ongoing for 20+ years.

What transport money has your end of the state received at all?

Olympia has been pissing away money for years to fund studies to extend light rail into Vancouver from Portland, and eventually south to Progressive CaliUtopia.

Meanwhile, it's a daily two hour trip to get across the Columbia, on one of the two bridges, rather than building that third bridge to Hillsboro...
