CAMPO punts and trims

Monday night's CAMPO meeting marked by protests, as board adopts plan to trim its size. CAMPO delayed votes on phase 2 of toll roads and broke it out from other proposals - "The so-called Phase 2 toll roads aren't expected to come back to the board until the summer after a new task force reconsiders the issues and makes recommendations." They also decided to trim out members (mostly legislators) to 'streamline' the board. Would you believe the meeting itself was ... held up by traffic?

Hundreds of people showed up at Monday's meeting, which was delayed by an hour because of traffic congestion. The often-hostile crowd booed Watson, and some held signs such as "Throw the bums out."

Tolls road are getting to be as popular as a case of hives.
