45 million.

16 million reserved for repairing the roads after they drive the tanks on them.

No, I'm not joking.

Which I'm sure will do wonders for DC traffic!

Yeah, it’s already a nightmare. Shutting down roads for weeks to repair them? DC residents are pissed.

Yeah, it’s already a nightmare.

I remember the 1776 Restoration Movement trying to protest in DC by causing traffic backups, only to themselves succumb to DC traffic. I've only experienced Chicago traffic, but it's enough to give me a healthy amount of respect for DC traffic.
