First, what the hell is a P3?
Second, PA has one of the top 3 WORST records for consuming farmland for suburban sprawl. There is NOTHING more UNsustainable than suburban sprawl. The worst thing about it in this state is that developers get all the profits for their "work" while the tax payers have to maintain the additional sprawled infrastructure in perpetuity. Traffic jams swell and the people who swarm the suburbs petulant1y scream for the roads to be "fixed" (widened, lights, lanes added, bypasses built, etc.).
So Fast Eddie is crowing about sustainable infrastructure investment? That's great. While he's at it, the laws in PA that have heavily incented over-development, added lanes, roads, and bridges that we can't afford to maintain, and the destruction of farmland stay intact - condemning taxpayers to pay now AND later for maintenance of thousands of miles of roads serving more vehicles than they can realistically support.
That is Eddie's legacy - lots of lip, no action.
