Rep. Krusee is very wrong here, and makes is other ideas suspect. Colleges go to wealthy alumni for naming rights then go elsewhere for the rest of the funding. Tuition has little to do with capital projects. If the University of Utah did things as Krusee suggests it would be a 3 building campus today.
Another thing, if economics is your only tool then every problem is a tax revenue. Why does the tax benefit of this program go to the entity responsible for the problem?
To really work commuters should be given tax credits to take public transportation, not taxed to fill out Stephanson and Krusee's paycheck.
Why is charging more and more the rule of thumb for our state politicians?
How about better planning? How many times have we seen a road project completed to just see it ripped up a few months later to install pipes? How about synergy of projects? Why not complete similar projects on the same road with the same equipment with the same manpower with similar requirements at the same time? Doesn't that save money?
SO MANY QUESTIONS!

If we "downsize" our cars from those gas guzzlers aren't we beating the roads less with a 3,000 pound car or 500 pound motorcycle than with a 5,000 pound SUV?
Since when does an educational institution raise tuition for a new building? It seems at the U they get $50 million from Sorenson and build a new building. If tuition is too high, admissions might decrease - it seems more like market driven pricing - to an extent.
I just don't think this article seems terribly accurate. I'm not sure it makes sense.
Perhaps it's not the article but the people giving the facts but there seems to be alot of room for argument with many of these statements.
