I'm not against light rail. I'm actually for it. I'm for a light rail system on Woodward, Gratiot, and Michigan extending out to Pontiac, Mt. Clemens, and Ann Arbor.

However, what I'm against is people making statements like, "WOW, if they shut down I-96 for maintenance, then we don't need it!"

Yes, we need light rail, I'm for it. And also, yes, we need freeways too.
