Well I guess building “Light rail” to carry fat cats from their down town Minneapolis offices to the airport, which cost us over a billion during the 1990s, probably is more to blame here.

I must call Bravo Sierra. The real reason is that the voters of that deeply Democrapic state are socialists.

I would like to see their Federal road related taxes doubled until they pay for their own bridge. maintaining the bridge was/is their responsibilty. They spent like the Scandinavian Nanny State socialists they are descended from.

Waste a billion bucks, pay back the wasted billion bucks.

Being the soul of generosity, and a “Compassionate Conservative”, I suggest that we Americans forgive them the interest on the outstanding balance while they are repaying the wasted money.

You have light rail?!? You sure are lucky. No doubt you've eliminated all the traffic and pollution problems as promised.

Charlotte (NC) is going through the process of building it right now. The city is in the massive cost overrun/review/tax increase stage. Totally predicted by every one but the politicians who pushed it...also totally predictable.

Over a billion $$, you say? Great. It's going to be fun to watch the politicians try to sell that here.
