I was going to leave a comment on his blog, but IB Madison has a separate sign on system (to keep the riff raff out probably) and I didn’t want to create yet another online account. Plus, [...]

“Cars First” is not a Progressive Policy Position.
Posted July 16th, 2012 @ 5:43 PM by Matt LoganSo-called “Progressive” talk show host John “Sly” Sylvester doubled down on the “Cars First” rhetoric last Friday, flipping his rationale from “because we pay for the roads” to “because there are more of us and we are bigger.” But is such a power-based rationale really representative of someone who claims to be a Progressive?
