The Partnership for Quality Growth website features an American flag blowing the the breeze at the top of its home page. And, by golly, the site is "a system of resources designed to help citizens be effective advocates for road-based mobility and a balanced approach to growth in their communities."
The Partnership for Quality Growth is an ad-hoc coalition of trade associations that include the American Consulting Engineers Council, American Highway Users Alliance, American Road and Transportation Builders Association, Associated Equipment Distributors, Associated General Contractors of America, U.S. Chamber of Commerce, Construction Industry Manufacturers Association, Equipment Manufacturers Institute, Laborers Employers Cooperation and Education Trust, National Asphalt Pavement Association, National Stone Association, National Utility Contractors Association, The Road Information Program, and the Transportation Construction Coalition.
They don't hide this; the logos are right on the front page. Let's hope the media points out these affiliations when reporting on any of the organization's anti-smart growth press releases or briefings.
Thanks to the SPRAWL WATCH CLEARINGHOUSE for posting this first.
