Her personal clothing budget was once reported as being $16,000 per month. After reading this recent study from WPC about the costs of various types of public transit, I thought of Britney. Hat tip to the David Boze show on KTTH 770, where I first learned of the study, and kudos to WPC's Michael Ennis for some great work. The study extols van pools as far more... 13555@http://soundpolitics.com/public/ 2009-11-20T18:36:346p01053690976c970c -08:00 http://soundpolitics.com/public/2009/11/604871_folks_out_of_work_in_wa.html I ran across this blog.
