No, it cannot. But the Governor wants to throw red meat to the construction unions because he wants to run for President.

Hell no.

Mr. “progressive” Governor who cares so much about climate change when he wants to pander, but can’t seem to find the spine to say no to billions of dollars of spending roads for cars and fossil fuel plants that poison the air.

If the goal is just to create construction jobs and it has to be on a highway then do something with some benefits by burying the lanes between 78/139 and the Tunnel. Then upzone that whole area for dense housing.

Damn look at you making all that sense. The point isn’t for the plan to improve anything it’s about greasing the right palms.
