Infrastructure upgrades. This country needs it. I do believe that was proposed with paid-for tax increases on 1%.

They proposed it but shot it down. Saying its to expensive to do underground wiring. This is the problem with Gov today. If politician today had their way bridges and tunnels would not have been built in the past.

It has already cost more with the outage in terms of lost productivity so they may as well just spend the cash and put the wires underground.

where do you live?

Well I'm back in NJ now. I live in Northern NJ. The two gas stations that actually had gas ran out of gas while I was waiting on line BOTH TIMES. Now I have to wait until Wednesday.

Ouch.

I am in south jersey and we no longer have lines in most gas stations.

Well I got gas this morning. Took an hour wait. But I brought a book with me while I was waiting. Smart.
