not being implemented due to lack of funds

Yet when a law was proposed to stop funding bike paths and light rail until all inadequate bridges were up to standard, our “political leaders” voted it down.

My brother in law’s company inspected the Minnesota bridge two years ago and told the state the bridge had to be repaired.

Here’s how the “people’s representatives responded”:

But $10 million of that was dedicated to a commuter rail line, $250,000 for the “Isanti Bike/Walk Trail,” $200,000 to bus services in Duluth, and $150,000 for the Mesabi Academy of Kidspeace in Buhl. None of it went for bridge repair.

That's almost a crime and certainly a shame. Isn't the legislature there Democrat controlled? Although there's plenty of blame to go around both parties mind you.
