east bay congressman says he knows really bad planning when he sees it...insisting that measure three is born of "dysfunctional policy making." congressman desaulnier says it's a grab bag of projects - thrown together behind closed doors. he says a real remedy needs better planning and analysis... and some of the projects might not even have necessary approval. desaulnier told us today that he believes the proposed 3- dollar bridge toll hike for the bay area's state-owned toll bridges would cost a lot -- and probably not improve commutes much. rep. desaulnier - you really have to tell the toll payers what benefit they would get in their corridors - and this measure doesn't do that. so for my constituents - who would pay $700 more a year if they commute regularly - they're going to see very little benefit in their commute. and i think that's wrong. i don't think we'll ever change and do better planning in the bay area if we don't tell them no and make them come back with a more thoughtful process - and let thetoll payers know what the projects are and how soon they'll get relief. the congressman says
