What Was Good & Bad in 2005

Here's a list of the best and worst of 2005 that the Mid-Atlantic AAA put together, and they seem to think the $800 million for transportation out of the '05 General Assembly tops the list. But that seems like an inflated rank, given that a bunch of that cash went to pay off old debt.

I think the rise of toll-funded PPTA projects should be first on the Best list, and it's a trend that even the balkanized General Assembly will be able to support this year and beyond. The worst of 2005 - gas prices, says AAA. I would have put that on my 'Best' list, too.
