Scots do not want to end the Union, merely modify it
The temptation is to look back, to muse on what might have been, to settle a few old scores along the way. It is a temptation best resisted. What's done is done and cannot be undone.So, instead, let us look forward to what could be and what should be in politics as it relates to Scotland. Few people would dispute that the election of an SNP government at Holyrood last May has given the Scottish Parliament a much-needed injection of democratic adrenaline.It has been a theme of these columns that a Labour and Liberal Democrat administration grown stale and tired has been replaced by a party which was finally fit to govern, and prepared to do so.Alex Salmond has had a rumbustious start to his premiership, resolutely refusing to be taken for granted by Westminster politicians, bristling on behalf of Scotland at every sleight, real or perceived.A naturally belligerent politician, Mr Salmond tempered his style during the election and has generally resisted what even some of his party colleagues admit is a tendency to descend into hubris.Mr Salmond's approach has, so far, been remarkably successful.

It's the best way to move it forward because it would be a deadlock vote or could come down to one vote," he said.The 10-member policy committee includes county and city elected officials, as well as representatives from INDOT and the Federal Highway Administration and the Federal Transit Administration. Two members were not present on Tuesday.David Franklin, a planner for the Federal Highway Administration, said an environmental impact study for the final phases of the bypass is expected to take two years. Franklin told city and county officials that both should use WCIEDD to propose changes, rather than individually approaching INDOT officials.Mike Morris, a member of the committee and a Vigo County councilman, said he is concerned a delay could push construction costs up 12 to 15 percent a year.
