Infrastructure: Big word, big problem

I was happy to see Tom Baldrige’s column regarding our infrastructure crisis (“Pay now, or pay more later, for infrastructure projects,” Business, May 19).  A few years ago, our firm had the opportunity to conduct leadership training within the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation, and we learned a lot about the status of our roads and bridges.  It is amazing to me that the media do not devote more space to this challenge.

As Tom asks, “How are we not able to find a way to fund something as critical as our country’s infrastructure system?”

My first thought goes to the enormous waste of money spent each year destroying other nations with our military spending. As we see more truth come out concerning our destruction of Iraq, it is a good time for citizens to study this issue and ask more questions. Where is the money going that could be rebuilding America?
