Sign on the line

So, President Bush signed on the dotted line and the highway bill is law. Did you notice that every story about the highway bill on almost every news channel and in every newspaper reports that the bill is loaded with special-interest pork? All of the positive things that this bill will bring to the country is being buried beneath accusations of pork, pork, and more pork. My question is, couldn't our industry have foreseen this and had an appropriate response ready to go? Now we are forced to answer for the Don Young Bridge at every turn. Your comment?
