Roads and economic development and Elwood

I have not had much time to look at the papers today. Well, I looked at Muncie and I looked the Herald-Bulletin. Still got a lot of stories about snow. Then I see this article about how the ten year DOT plan does not include expanding 37 to four lanes into Elwood. Yeah, give Mitch points for having vision and wanting to spread the economic development into the smaller cities and towns of Indiana.

Now would the story be the same if Mitch could find a way to give a slice of the action to someone like Bechtel or Halliburton?
