Rep. Steve Davis, R-McDonough, needs to spend less time on his Doogie Howser-esque blog and more time researching the merits of commuter rail. The representative, who is so dead-set on building roads that he plugs his ears anytime he hears the word "rail," just plain hates trains. When a House bill that could infuse much-needed cash into the state's transportation projects was discussed in committee, Davis dragged the meeting into a four-hour affair and made a case for waiting out funding until the DOT's new commissioner could whip the agency into shape.
