First the federal government shot down Raleigh’s hopes for light-rail money. Now the State Board of Transportation has cut off the spigot. Who is to blame?

Here are some nominees:

• The Mayor and City Council. Heckuva job lobbying, folks. And now Mayor Meeker is suggesting a half-cent local sales tax instead.

• The Wake County legislative delegation. Comprised of Republican wingnuts and Democrats who won’t stoop to pork.

• Would-be Mayor Nina Szlosberg, who served on both the ill-fated TTA (light rail) and the Board of Transportation.

Any others I should mention?
