Arnold Addresses Area Transportation Problems
with Three Additional “White Paper Solutions” on Website

Gurnee, IL: Within his official website of www.ArnoldforCongress.com, Gurnee taxpayer watchdog and Republican congressional candidate in the 8th District – Ken Arnold – has this week unveiled three additional, proposed solutions to major Federal problems. Mr. Arnold terms these, and all others he will unveil over the course of the campaign, as his “white paper solutions.” These are major, detailed, and original thoughts and solutions that Mr. Arnold has created on a very wide breath of Federal problems.

The three solution papers released this week on his website have to do with the subject of area highway transportation problems.

The first proposal, termed the “One Bite at the Apple Act” is a creative means to discourage multiple construction initiatives on the same roadway when a single construction project can otherwise be done. Ken Arnold states: “It is madness to see the same roadway over 10 years be torn up three times – with the taxpayer paying for the same thing over and over again. Do it right the first time! And don’t waste taxpayer money — or citizen’s time — sitting in construction traffic each time.”

Candidate Arnold’s second highway transportation initiative is dubbed “The Pay for Roads – Not Construction Act”. This creative initiative would look at Federal highway construction from a whole new angle which brings free markets and the profit motive into helping solve our deteriorating highway infrastructure. It creatively turns perspectives around from government focusing on the process of construction to instead focusing on the taxpayer’s and public’s goal. That goal is to have quality, pot hole free highways that last as long as technology will allow.

The last of the three released is a major, Chicagoland transportation initiative Mr. Arnold calls “The Quad-State National Defense Causeway”. The initiative calls for building a 68 mile causeway between the areas of Waukegan, Illinois and Michigan City, Indiana. The proposal contains numerous researched details including the precise right of way planning and the shallow water depths involved.

Congressional Candidate Arnold points out that not only will this causeway materially help address the issue of traffic gridlock around the tip of Lake Michigan — it will also provide a badly needed eastern escape route from the Chicagoland area in case of terrorist attack. In addition, his proposal outlines that this causeway could also be used for several other vital needs such as high speed rail transportation, natural gas line and electrical wire transmission.

These three “white paper solutions” join an already growing list which can be found upon his www.ArnoldforCongress.com website. Candidate Ken Arnold has promised the citizens of the 8th Congressional District “24 and more” of such original, creative, and effective solutions before the end of this Primary Election season February 5th.

He points to his groundbreaking ideas and says to his fellow citizens:

“The question you should ask yourself with all the candidates wanting to be your Congressman is: Who is best and most assuredly going to solve my problems with government? When asking that question, I am confident that in this race the answer is already being made evident – Ken Arnold should be our Representative.”

  1. Wow! One contractor instead of three. What a concept! Now if someone would apply that logic to the Haliburton –> … –> Blackwater contractor scam we could cut the cost of the war in Iraq by 1,325%.
