Who: Sen. Robert Menendez, D-N.J.
What: Menendez and his fellow senator from New Jersey are touting a $2.3 million upgrade to bicycle paths that will connect New Jersey to Pennsylvania.
Why it’s an outrage: The grant comes from $1.5 billion in transportation funds awarded as part of the federal stimulus. Unless the new economy means we’re using rickshaws for shipping, it’s unclear how bike paths will “stimulate” the economy.
Where to vent: Contact Menendez at 202-224-4744.
