| Message | There are plenty of other modes of transportation besides cars. The change is unneeded and would reduce tourism, increase pollution and force a large investment in infrastructure. |

| Message | While we like to delegate many things to local governments, a comprehencive waste disposal plan could be run best by the national government, in our opinion. |
