If elected president, I will set a new tone in Washington and seek out bipartisan initiatives that have been demonstrated to revitalize urban and rural neighborhoods, improve schools and make streets safer. Reducing suburban sprawl will aid cities. Inner-city schools must be made more effective. We must continue to combat crime. So-called brownfields must be cleaned up and redeveloped, and taxes and regulations must provide an atmosphere where entrepreneurs can flourish.
Infrastructure is also an important component addressing sprawl.
That's why I believe states receiving federal gasoline tax dollars should be given the necessary flexibility from federal strings to meet their diverse needs. Post your comments on this story here.
