While I listen on the radio about Virginia's Budget cuts I sat in traffic at the HRBT for over 2 hours last night. I did not make it through the tunnel until nearly 12:30 AM. The whole backup was due to VDOT cleaning the tunnel. If we are in such difficult times, why are we cleaning the tunnel. I could see cleaning the road surface to eliminate oil deposits, but the ceiling? I got an email from my university saying that due to the state budget cuts, an annual geology/earth sciences trip has been canceled. Let me get this straight? We have to cut education so our tunnels can be shiny?
