This Highway Brought to You By ... Wal-Mart?
West Valley City Democrat Sen. Ed Mayne is not a fan of privately constructed toll roads, especially since the first one would most likely run through his legislative district. And he became a little feisty during Monday's debate.
Mayne suggested China build the Mountain View Corridor, a 35 mile stretch someone near 5600 West in Salt Lake County, since the Chinese are supporting much of the national debt. He also suggested Wal-Mart and even Enron as possible road builders.
"I would really trust that as far as investing and getting back their money from us," he joked.
Provo Sen. Curt Bramble was next up, but was caught with some food in his mouth when Mayne abruptly finished his long speech.
"I had to wait so long I had to finish this egg before I could speak," Bramble joked.
Mayne responded: "Choke on it."
