Voters in Raleigh yesterday overwhelmingly supported a $40 million bond referendum to finance various transportation improvements in the City of Oaks, including road repaving, upgraded bus stops, renovations to Moore Square and a new Amtrack station. The package withstood opposition from Americans for Prosperity, which cited a long-term debt concern as a reason to stymie the new spending. It appears that over 67% of those who went to the polls yesterday thought immediate infrastructure investment was a higher priority than fiscal austerity.
