More bike money worries: This story builds on earlier reports<http://dc.streetsblog.org/2010/11/11/the-power-of-the-pursestrings-shifts-to-a-livability-denier-in-the-house/> that the change in leadership following the mid-term election could cut the flow of cash to bicycle and pedestrian projects. It focuses on Rep. Tom Latham (R-Iowa) - in line to be the chairman of a subcommittee in control of appropriations for transportation projects. Latham reportedly has said every biker is "one less person paying into the transportation trust fund."
