To build on that, the way the system is set up is such that municipalities are putting their own dollars on the line first to make sure the projects can start. They're investing, letting the contracts, and doing the procurement. Then they follow that with the receipts and hope it all goes smoothly and works out.
Again, I don't know that it's as much of a delay to projects getting out the door, as actually seeing the money flowing. I do think municipalities should be recognized for the fact that they are putting their own money out first to make sure that these things happen.
