"As MarkDaMan stated above, there is a potent for a large market."
So what? Did Apple Computer get handouts when they produced the first PC? Or did Henry Ford get tax subsidies for the advent of the automobile? What about Microsoft? Gutenberg and moveable type? RCA and the television?
If there's potentially a large market for streetcars, companies wouldn't need subsidies to develop them.
Moreover, there as a supposed -shortage- of tax revenues federally and locally. Spending our money on vote-buying schemes while police and schools go unfunded is nauseating.
I wonder what you, Markdaman and the author would think if this $4 million was going to Monaco Coach? There *is* a large market for RVs and fifth wheels you know.
