Winter Walking and Cycling

I wouldn't call her fiscal conservative, or at least, I don't think opposing bike lanes is particularly fiscally conservative.

Indeed, a real fiscal conservative would be opposed to building and widening roads, unless there is a plan to pay for them that doesn’t involve just issuing more bonds. And a fiscal conservative would have no expressed opinion on building bicycle infrastructure, because the amounts of money involved are so small as to be irrelevant compared to all the colossal wastes of resources in other parts of the government budget.
